Data Parallel C++: the oneAPI Implementation of SYCL*
Cross-Architecture
- SYCL* is an alternative to single-vendor proprietary accelerator programming languages
- Allows code reuse across hardware targets (CPU, GPU, FPGA) and supports custom tuning for a specific platform
- SYCL is a Khronos* standard that adds data parallelism and heterogeneous programming to familiar and standard ISO C++
An Implementation of SYCL
- DPC++ is one of the compiler implementations
Intel® oneAPI DPC++/C++ Compiler
Companion Intel® oneAPI DPC++ Library
Open Community Project
- oneAPI is an open source LLVM* technology implementation of SYCL
- API extensions are driven by open and cooperative community development
- Once proven, these enhancements are proposed to the parent specifications (C++ or SYCL) for implementation
Learn the Basics of SYCL
SYCL is an open alternative to single-architecture proprietary languages. It allows developers to reuse code across hardware targets (CPUs and accelerators such as GPUs and FPGAs) and also perform custom tuning for a specific accelerator. These code walkthroughs introduce you to basic principles and practices of SYCL programming. To continue learning about SYCL and Intel’s integration of this new programming language into the Intel ® oneAPI toolkits, see More Ways to Learn.
