Intel has released ISPC 1.31, the latest version of its Implicit SPMD Program Compiler. Key additions include new AVX10.2 NVL targets (x4, x8, x16, x32, x64) for the upcoming Nova Lake processors, similar to existing Diamond Rapids targets but without AMX support. Notably, the release also adds experimental PowerPC 64-bit support for IBM POWER8 and newer, though this is not enabled by default in official builds. The release also includes performance improvements, standard library updates, and bug fixes.
