AMD OpenVX (AMDOVX)

AMD OpenVX (beta preview) is a highly optimized open source implementation of the Khronos OpenVX computer vision specification. It allows for rapid prototyping as well as fast execution on a wide range of computer hardware, including small embedded x86 CPUs and large workstation discrete GPUs.

Features

The code is highly optimized for both x86 CPU and OpenCL for GPU
Supported hardware spans the range from low power embedded APUs (like the new G series) to laptop, desktop and workstation graphics
Supports Windows and Linux
Includes a “graph optimizer” that looks at the entire processing pipeline and removes/replaces/merges functions to improve performance and minimize bandwidth at runtime
Scripting support allows for rapid prototyping, without re-compiling at production performance levels
Interoperates with the popular (open source library) OpenCV

The current release verion is 0.9 (beta preview).

Build this project to generate AMD OpenVX library and RUNVX executable.

Refer to openvx/include/vx_ext_amd.h for extensions in AMD OpenVX library.
Refer to runvx/README.md for RUNVX details.
