GPU Accelerated Computing on Cross-Vendor Graphics Cards with Vulkan Kompute - Alejandro Saucedo

--- Many advanced data processing paradigms fit incredibly well to the parallel-architecture that GPU computing offers, and exciting advancements in the open source projects such as Vulkan and Kompute are enabling developers to take advantage of general purpose GPU computing capabilities in cross-vendor mobile and desktop GPUs (including AMD, Qualcomm, NVIDIA & friends). In this talk we will provide a conceptual and practical insight into the cross-vendor GPU compute ecosystem as well as how to adopt these tools to add GPU acceleration to your existing C applications. In this talk we will show how you can write a simple GPU accelerated machine learning algorithm from scratch which will be able to run on virtually any GPU. We will give an overview on the projects that are making it possible to accelerate applications across cross-vendor GPUs. We’ll show how you can get started with the full power of your GPU using the Kompute framework with only a han
