Company Profile
Codeplay Software Ltd
Company Overview
Codeplay is at the forefront of defining and integrating standards-based software enabling AI for many of the largest processor companies. Codeplay is the first company to deliver a product that is SYCL™ conformant, giving developers the most mature, reliable standards-based AI development platform on the market.
Since 2002, Codeplay has enabled over 20 complex processor systems providing software developers with robust and stable development tools. Codeplay has established the reputation as a leader in opening up AI processors and creating an ecosystem of developers on the latest processors. Being based on open standards, Codeplay’s solutions ensure a faster adoption of solutions and provide a simplified longer support package for product evolution and maintenance.
Codeplay is internationally recognized as being at the forefront of software development technology. Working at Codeplay offers unique opportunities and challenges to learn new technologies and to get involved in shaping the software industry. Codeplay's projects range from: creating tools and tool sets (optimizing compilers, debuggers, profilers, programming models & APIs, test systems/suites, etc.) for brand-new unannounced next-generation hardware; developing and optimizing current machine learning (TensorFlow™) and computer vision applications; research and development into lowering the power consumption of mobile devices; and contributing to new programming models and software standards (e.g. C++, SYCL™, OpenCL™, Vulkan® and SPIR™-V).
Codeplay Software is a world pioneer in enabling acceleration technologies used in AI, HPC and automotive. Codeplay was established in 2002 in Edinburgh, Scotland and developed some of the first tools enabling complex software to be accelerated using graphics processors. Today, most AI software is developed using graphics processors designed for video games, and more recently specialised AI and computer vision accelerators. Codeplay continues to work with global technology leaders to make the latest complex AI systems programmable using open-standards based programming languages and allows application developers to quickly bring software to the market. ?Codeplay is also deeply involved with the definition of open standards, especially OpenCL™, SPIR™, SYCL™, and Vulkan™ through The Khronos Group, and MISRA C++ for automotive.
