Jul 1, 2025Month: 2025-07 — Features delivered and major improvements in holohub include the Slang Shader Operator Integration for Holoscan Pipelines, enabling GPU-accelerated compute kernels via Slang. Key deliverables include an end-to-end C++/Python example pipeline, Slang shader definitions, and the necessary CMake/build setup. The endoscopy tool tracking application was extended with Slang shader post-processing by adding a dedicated Slang shader operator, along with build/config updates and tests.
