New features since last release include:

  • Generate custom pytorch ops from Halide pipelines
  • Automatic differentiation of Halide pipelines
  • A Webassembly backend
  • A Direct3D backend
  • An opt-in caching allocator for cuda to reduce the amount of time spent in cuMemAlloc, cuMemFree
  • float16 and bfloat16 support
  • Faster compilation of very large pipelines
  • New ways to assert properties of arguments, including unchecked assertions, and more aggressive simplifications that exploit these
  • The ability to place Funcs in stack/heap/shared/register memory explicitly with store_in
  • Runtime configuration of Generator inputs/outputs
  • Support for DMA transfers on Hexagon
  • Generate python extension modules from Halide pipelines
  • Lower overhead when calling realize repeatedly on small pipelines
  • Optional strict floating point semantics for single expressions or entire pipelines
  • Producer-consumer task parallelism with Func::async
  • Numerous improvements to Halide::Runtime::Buffer. Consider replacing your custom halide_buffer_t wrappers with it.
  • Many many more small improvements and bug fixes (it has been a while since our last release)

Edit: This release was renamed to use the included llvm version instead of the date. It was formerly named Halide 2019/08/27
