  • This Open VKL release adds support for Intel® Arc™ GPUs, Intel® Data Center
    GPU Flex Series and Intel® Data Center GPU Max Series through SYCL.
    • The SYCL support of Open VKL is in beta phase. Current functionality,
      quality, and GPU performance may not reflect that of the final product.
    • Open VKL CPU support in this release remains at Gold level,
      incorporating the same quality and performance as previous releases.
  • API changes:
    • Handle types are now passed by pointer in the following APIs:
      • vklComputeSample*()
      • vklComputeGradient*()
      • vklGet*IteratorSize*()
      • vklInit*Iterator*()
      • vklIterate*()
    • vklLoadModule() has been removed; compile-time linkage to an Open VKL
      device implementation (cpu or gpu) is now required
    • Added vklInit() API, which must be called to initialize the library
    • VKL_FILTER_[TRILINEAR,TRICUBIC] are renamed to
      VKL_FILTER_[LINEAR,CUBIC]
    • VKLAMRMethod enum is now uint32_t
    • structuredSpherical volumes: the gridSpacing default now results in
      the volume occupying a full sphere
  • Added new examples demonstrating GPU usage: vklExamplesGPU and
    vklTutorialGPU
  • Superbuild updates to latest versions of dependencies
