We’ve just set up a Discord so our community can gather in one place, help each other & talk to developers - join here 👉 discord.gg/WnMqNPgs

ISPC v1.28.0 is out! Beyond stability, perf & language/stdlib upgrades, we’ve added: • Call ISPC from Python 🐍 • Use ISPC as a library 📦 • Experimental JIT (e.g. pick best tile size at runtime) ⚡ Release notes 👉 github.com/ispc/ispc/rele… Try it & share your feedback!

🚀 New ISPC v1.26.0 Release! 🚀 🔹 Improved ARM support & performance 🔹 New "generic" targets simplify ISPC design & ease new targets support 🔹 Better code generation for x86 & ARM 🔹 Lots of stability fixes github.com/ispc/ispc/rele…

I submitted a proposal for a Masterclass talk on ISPC at the Graphics Programming Conference in Breda, NL this fall. Fingers crossed it gets accepted! They are still accepting proposals/abstracts for talks if you're interested. graphicsprogrammingconference.nl

This should help make getting setup to contribute, or to build ISPC with specific versions of LLVM much easier!

We've just released a new game-changing update of ISPC packed with exciting features: function templates technical preview, support for Intel® Xeon® Scalable CPUs and Intel® Data Center GPU Max, improved ISPC Runtime and bunch of other cool staff! github.com/ispc/ispc/rele…

@touisteur As far as I know, right now it's about on par with the TGL CPU, but hopefully Arina can shed some more light on this for you.

@ispc_updates Used that it's deemed an Xe gpu, just wondering whether someone has tried ispc on it and what they've managed with the 2 available TFLOPS. 😊

Introducing ISPC v1.19.0! 🎉 * Function Templates! (technical preview) * Support for Sapphire Rapids CPU targets * Support for Intel Data Center GPU Max (Ponte Vecchio) * Improved Arc GPU support. Full Release Notes: github.com/ispc/ispc/rele… 🧵1/6

@touisteur @ArinaNeshlyaeva, have you done any performance measurements on TGL iGPU vs TGL CPU?

@AgileJebrim @ArinaNeshlyaeva - do we have any data we can share?

@ispc_updates Got some updated profiled examples?

We added a link mode to ISPC, enabling linking several LLVM bitcode or SPIR-V files while outputting LLVM bitcode or SPIR-V as a result. ispc link test_a.bc test_b.bc --emit-spirv -o test.spv The CMake utilities were also updated to support the ispc link feature. 🧵6/6

New device names acm-g10, acm-g11, and acm-g12 were added for Intel® Arc™ Graphics. The dg2 device name has been removed. Performance on Xe targets has been improved significantly by analyzing and automatically reducing register spilling. 🧵5/6

Let's have a SIMD meme thread! Time to dig into your meme archives. What are your best SIMD memes?
