AMD Engineer Talks Up Vulkan/SPIR-V As Part Of Their MLIR-Based Unified AI Software Play
An AMD engineer presented earlier this month at the Vulkanised 2025 conference in Cambridge (UK) around the work they are pursuing for AI using the MLIR intermediate representation, IREE, and the role that Vulkan/SPIR-V can play for AI acceleration across AMD's wares as well as other hardware.
At the seventh annual Vulkanised conference earlier this month hosted by The Khronos Group, AMD engineer Jakub Kuderski was talking up AI programming with Vulkan's SPIR-V IR in IREE and MLIR. For those interested in this AI programming model being pursued by AMD, the presentation video was uploaded to YouTube yesterday: Noted ongoing work is being able to support heterogeneous executables with GPU and NPU kernels within the same program binary, "one click" whole-model tuning using profile guided optimizations (PGO), and other functionality.
