Taichi, a programming language designed for high-performance computer graphics, has released version 0.6.29, bringing a number of feature optimizations.
Taichi is embedded in Python, and its on-the-fly compiler moves compute-intensive tasks to multi-core CPUs and massively parallel GPUs.
Highlights of this release include:
Error messages
- Appends backtracking to ti.field when no variables are placed
Examples
- Upgrading mass_spring_3d.py to the Taichi THREE v0.0.3 API
GUI
- Add convenient ti.imscale(img, w, h) for scaling images.
IR optimization passes
- Complete storage/load elimination through control flow charts
