SPIR-V

SPIR-V is a standardized, intermediate language used in graphics and compute programming, especially with technologies like Vulkan and OpenCL. It translates high-level code written by developers into a common format that GPUs (graphics processing units) can efficiently understand and execute. Think of it as a universal recipe that bridges the gap between the programmer’s instructions and the hardware’s capabilities, enabling more efficient and flexible graphics rendering and compute tasks across different devices and platforms.
