[pocl-devel] PoCL 3.1 RC1

[Jan S. (TAU) <jan...@tu...>]

Hello all,

LLVM 15.0 has been out for a while so a new PoCL release is in order.

There are lots of other exciting changes as well:
* The Accel custom device driver has seen some major reworking and is now called AlmaIF
* SPIR-V support for CPU and CUDA devices has been greatly improved
* The experimental Vulkan driver is closer to being a full-fledged driver
* There is a basic implementation of the provisional command buffer extension

Note that the TTASim driver will be superseded by the AlmaIF driver and deprecated once
the AlmaIF driver reaches feature parity with it.

I’ve created RC1:

Please test and report your results here:

or file issues on GitHub.

Regards,
