Explore Intel’s efforts in leading the rearchitecture of Open Shading Language* (OSL*) to leverage the power of Intel AVX-512 on Intel SIMD hardware. Learn about software engineering techniques used in SIMD OSL including strategic memory layout for OSL datatypes, masking for divergent control flows, and addition of an LLVM backend for vector code generation.

Rendering interactive, photo-realistic, “wow factor” visuals is no longer solely the domain of the GPU. Software-Defined Visualization (SDVis) solutions—all targeted for the CPU—are redefining performance, from cinematic endeavors to scientific analysis. Find out how the open-source, high-performance rendering libraries in Intel® Rendering Framework are leveling the playing field on Intel® Xeon® processors … and how you can get your hands on the framework's libraries.

For brick-and-mortar retailers, the new paradigm is “digitize”—i.e., use new IoT technologies to understand and respond to real-world customer behavior. Find out how Advantech UShop* and Intel® Vision Products are using AI to keep foot traffic—and commerce—alive and kicking.

An 8x performance boost is impressive on its own. But add in the context—securing the entire 2018 FIFA World Cup attended by tens of millions of fans across 11 cities—and that boost skyrockets into extraordinary. See how AxxonSoft* and Intel® Vision Products made it happen.
