Safety Critical Open Standards for Accelerated Heterogeneous Computing

Date and Time: April 9, 2024; 11:30-12:00 p.m.
Description: We have seen an explosion in Machine Learning and AI solutions over the past decade due in part to the ecosystem of open standard libraries and frameworks that enable engineers to prototype ideas quickly. Now, as the need increases for safety-critical APIs that can meet application engineers at levels of abstraction that they are familiar with, open standards for high-level abstraction in safety-critical heterogeneous computing such as SYCL Safety Critical and those that facilitate low-level access to GPU acceleration for advanced graphics and compute applications, such as Vulkan Safety Critical are enabling applications in safety-critical markets such as automotive, avionics, industrial, and medical. This session will also discuss how OpenVX provides a safety profile for deploying discrete vision algorithms and Neural Network inferencing. This session explores how these safety-critical standards adhere to MISRA C++ guidelines and align with safety-critical standards such as such as RTCA DO-178C Level A / EASA ED-12C (avionics), ISO 26262/21448 (automotive), IEC 61508 (industrial), and IEC 62304 (Medical).

Open Standards Powering the Future of Embedded Compute and Vision Applications

Date and Time: April 9, 2024; 4:30-5:00 p.m.
Description: The landscape of APIs and file formats for deploying and accelerating applications using machine learning and embedded vision acceleration continues to rapidly evolve. In this session, Neil Trevett, Khronos Group President, will share an update on the family of Khronos Group standards for programming and deploying accelerated inferencing and embedded vision, including OpenCL, Vulkan Safety Critical, SYCL Safety Critical, OpenVX, SYCL, Kamaros, and NNEF. The overview will provide a look at the evolving roadmap for all of these standards and provide insights into which standards are relevant to attendee projects.
