There's hope that next week we might learn some new details about SPIR-V and Vulkan than what already has been made public over the past month.

The Khronos UK Chapter is holding a meeting at the LLVM conference happening one week from today at the Goldsmiths University in London. Vulkan, SPIR-V, and OpenCL 2.1 will be the primary discussion items for the event lasting the afternoon.

Among the agenda items are covering SPIR-V, building new graphics and compute languages with SPIR-V, more robust / simpler / efficient shader cross-compilation in Unity with SPIR-V, trying out Vulkan on PowerVR GPUs, why SPIR-V diverged from the LLVM IR that SPIR was originally based on, and other open discussion topics.

Any Phoronix readers stationed near London wishing to learn more on 14 April can find the Khronos UK event details via Meetup.com.
