Khronos Sees Explosive Growth
In 10th Year at SIGGRAPH
Khronos is delighted to observe ten years of participation in SIGGRAPH North America with a huge new “Member Demonstration Pavilion,” an Open House hospitality suite for Press & Educators, and five BOFS covering a variety of our APIs.
For the last ten years, Khronos Group open standards have been the foundation of a multi-billion dollar industry, and for those same ten years Khronos has been honored to be part of SIGGRAPH. This year in Vancouver on August 9, 10 and 11, 2011, we have a greater presence than in previous years, and some exciting new developments.

Introducing the “Khronos Pavilion” with individual Khronos member companies demonstrating products running on Khronos-developed standards
Khronos is excited that ACM has enabled us to organize some of our members into one large pavilion in a central location to display and demo products. Stop by and see demos from: ARM, Codeplay, DMP, Fixstars and HUONE. Check out details at the
Khronos SIGGRAPH event web page and the
SIGGRAPH 2011 web site.
Get a free Khronos API Reference Card Set (a $100 value) for completing a tour of the booths on the Khronos Pavilion
Khronos reference cards have proven to be very popular tools for developers. They look cool, are laminated to be durable, and provide the information programmers need at their fingertips. This year we are running a “Reference Card Round Up.” Start at Khronos Reception Booth #666 and visit each of the six booths on the Khronos pavilion to get a “two minute pitch” and then collect your receipt for a free reference card set to be shipped to the address of your choosing.

Hosting five BOFs with updates on Khronos APIs; see demos and win door prizes
Khronos Group founders and members are excited to visit Vancouver to talk about how Khronos APIs let developers tap into cutting edge graphics and media processing on platforms ranging from high-end workstations to mobile phones. Khronos BOFs are spread over two full days and this year there are
five BOF sessions, where you will the latest updates on the state of Khronos APIs:
OpenGL - Learn more about OpenGL, the most widely adopted 2D/3D graphics API, from the ARB and leading OpenGL companies.
OpenCL- Meet designers and implementers of this significant new standard for heterogeneous parallel programming on GPUs and CPUs. Learn how OpenCL inter-operates with OpenGL to enable advanced, cross-platform, visual-computing applications.
COLLADA- See cutting-edge DCC tools and applications for gaming, 3D web, and visualization, and artworks generated from COLLADA™ content-creation-supporting media
WebGL- WebGL is a cross-platform, royalty-free web standard based on OpenGL ES 2.0. It is shader-based, using GLSL, and it brings plugin-free 3D to the web, directly into the browser.
Mobile- Get the inside track on OpenGL ES, OpenVG, OpenMAX, and all the new-media APIs being used to develop the billion-dollar, billion-user gaming and mobile multimedia markets!
