Attendees will learn what allows these architectures using computational HW accelerators like GPUs, DSPs and others with native C++, without resorting to proprietary APIs or programming libraries or limited language features. It outlines the architectural pillars that make the accelerators a peer to the host CPUs and support full C++, and an overview of the open source AMD ROCmTM stack and software ecosystem providing the tools to use it on Intel and AMD based host platforms.
