Reviving OpenCL.jl for CPU glory
Tim Besard
OpenCL.jl is one of the oldest GPU programming packages in Julia. We recently revived this package, integrating it with the JuliaGPU ecosystem and enabling native compilation of Julia code through SPIR-V. This allows programming modern OpenCL accelerators, including CPUs through the PoCL library. The end result is a high-quality CPU backend for KernelAbstractions.jl that outperforms the existing tasks-based implementation.

Katharine Hyatt, Tim Besard, Julian P Samaroo
In this panel we'll sum up where the wider JuliaGPU ecosystem is today and invite feedback from developers and users on where we should focus efforts in the year to come.
