The 2022 OpenVINO™ DevCon•China Station hosted by Intel was successfully held in the form of an online summit, where many leading companies from all walks of life gathered here. At this global OpenVINO™ developer event, OpenVINO™ core technical experts shared the latest product information and technical demonstrations, and many big names also shared and exchanged industry insights, core technologies, case demonstrations and other multi-dimensional sharing and exchanges. To help developers improve their technical level, broaden their career horizons and understand industry trends. This conference also has a "Developer Ecology AMA (Ask Me Anything)" session, which supports developers and professional technical experts to conduct in-depth exchanges and active interactions, and escort AI practitioners.
OpenVINO™ DevCon is a global event designed to encourage OpenVINO™ developers to improve their technology and learn from each other. 2022 is the first year of this global event, which will start in the United States on June 13 and will be held in China, Japan and other countries and regions. On June 25th, the first meeting of the OpenVINO™ DevCon Series Summit China Station, combined with local cases in China, aims to better help developers use OpenVINO™ to achieve technical improvement, broaden their career horizons and gain insight into the latest industry trends.
Adam Burns, general manager of OpenVINO™ developer tools in Intel's Networking and Edge Group, said: "If we look back at OpenVINO™ over the past four years, it has grown a lot now compared to when it started. As the product has grown, Our community is also growing. So I think now is the perfect time to have a DevCon, not only to showcase the product updates we've been working on, but also to really give you the opportunity to network with partners, but also to see what's coming from OpenVINO ™ some great innovations from the developer community.”
Since the launch of OpenVINO™ in 2018, Intel has helped hundreds of thousands of developers significantly improve AI inference performance and expand their applications from intelligent edge computing to cloud computing and server-side. At the end of the first quarter of 2022, Intel introduced a new version of the distribution's OpenVINO™ toolkit. The new features, developed primarily based on feedback from developers over the past three and a half years, include easier updated APIs, a wider selection of deep learning models, more options for device portability, and higher inference performance and fewer Code configuration designed to simplify and automate model deployment. The technical highlights of the new version of OpenVINO™ 2022.1 include: automatic balancing of inference task load among CPU, GPU and other accelerators; easier import of pre-trained models from other frameworks; automatic inference task optimization and parallelization acceleration; Shape feature improves NLP-related network performance;
