The world of computing is rapidly evolving, with accelerators like GPUs, FPGAs, and specialized AI processors becoming integral to modern technology. This shift has led to the need for a unified approach to developing software that can work seamlessly across these diverse architectures. In this interview, Rod Burns, VP Ecosystem at Codeplay Software, talks about Unified Acceleration (UXL) Foundation, a new initiative aimed at creating a multi-vendor, multi-architecture platform for developers to write applications for all accelerators, based on open standards and open source projects. Burns also emphasizes the importance of collaboration in open-source projects for AI/ML, and the need for a centralized foundation to maintain and develop libraries and APIs for various applications.
