Develop for Accelerated Compute

Data Parallel Python technologies enable a standards-based development model for accelerated computing across XPUs that interoperates with the Python ecosystem without using low-level proprietary programming APIs.

  • Data Parallel Control library provides data and device management across Intel® XPUs.
  • Data Parallel NumPy library is a drop-in replacement of NumPy enabling execution across Intel XPUs.
  • Extension for Numba enables compiler support of Intel XPUs.
