MANHASSET, NY -- The Khronos Group board of directors has made the
participation of the Chinese industry a priority and has committed
significant financial and staffing resources to Chinese activities.
The industry consortium creates open standards for the acceleration of graphics, parallel computing, dynamic media and sensor processing.
“We recognize China as a key player in the global mobile industry and therefore have prioritized the participation of the Chinese technology industry to contribute to the development of mobile acceleration standards,” said Neil Trevett, president of Khronos and vice president of mobile content at Nvidia, in a statement. “Chinese companies will benefit significantly from Khronos participation and standards development will, in return, reflect Chinese industry requirements and priorities.”
Khronos launched a pan-Asian outreach tour in Beijing in December 2010 to encourage Asian cooperation.
Khronos has a series of free training and outreach events in China this week. Jon Peddie, President of JPR, a leading graphics consultancy, and a panel session conducted by Kathleen Maher, senior analyst at JPR are featured at the Beijing DevU on March 14. The Shanghai event is on March 17.
Khronos has created a Chinese language technical forum at cn.khronos.org, and is requesting volunteers who are fluent in Chinese and English and possess a firm understanding of the technical aspects of our APIs to apply to help moderate the forum.
The Khronos Group is also exhibiting at the China Game Developer Conference on July 25-27, 2012 in Shanghai, with a “Khronos Pavilion” and “Developer University.”
The Khronos Board of Directors includes AMD, Apple, ARM, Epic, Ericsson, Freescale, Imagination Technologies, Intel, Nokia, Nvidia, Oracle, Qualcomm, Samsung, Sony and Texas Instruments.

I applaud The Khronous Group. Their approach makes great sense and is very different from the usual consortia approach, "If someone is not at the table, they don't participate."
