v0.1.0: Initial Release - Forward Pass for Intel Arc

This is the first public release of the Intel XPU Differential Gaussian Rasterizer, a SYCL port of the forward pass for 3D Gaussian Splatting.

This version is intended for inference (rendering) only and is compatible with projects like MVSGaussian.

Features

• High-performance forward pass (rendering) on Intel Arc GPUs.
• Successfully tested on an Intel Arc B580 with the xe driver.
• Provides a PyTorch extension that can be used as a near drop-in replacement for the original CUDA module.

Limitations

• No Backward Pass: This package does not support training. The backward pass is not yet implemented.
• Memory Usage: May cause a DEVICE_LOST error on scenes with a very high number of tile overlaps (e.g., >500k Gaussians) due to VRAM limits.
• License: This project is a derivative work and inherits the non-commercial, research-only license from the original Gaussian-Splatting project.
