Vortex 3.0 Released, Integrates 3D Pipeline into Open-Source RISC-V GPGPU

The open-source developers at Georgia Tech have released Vortex 3.0 today, a major update to their OpenCL-compatible RISC-V GPGPU implementation. This new version incorporates a complete 3D pipeline, expanding the project into a full-stack, open-source GPU design capable of both general-purpose computation and traditional graphics rendering. Vortex 3.0 provides a comprehensive and extensible platform for hardware researchers and developers to work with the RISC-V architecture for GPU acceleration. The project continues its focus on offering an alternative for developing and testing GPU workloads without reliance on proprietary hardware.
