Breaking Boundaries with Data Parallel C++

There’s a new programming language in town.

Called Data Parallel C++ (DPC++), it allows developers to reuse code across diverse hardware targets—CPUs and accelerators—and perform custom tuning for a specific accelerator.

DPC++ is part of oneAPI—an Intel-led initiative to create a unified programming model for cross-architecture development. Based on familiar C++ and SYCL*, DPC++ is an open alternative to single-architecture proprietary approaches and helps developers create solutions that better meet specialized workload requirements.

Tune in to watch Intel vice president Alice Chan discuss this shift in programming flexibility, including:

Why cross-architecture development is a real need
What DPC++ brings to the table for developers
Why this non-proprietary approach will be more successful than other attempts for heterogeneous development (like OpenCL™)
How open specifications will drive ecosystem innovation
How to get it (hint: it’s part of the Intel® oneAPI Base Toolkit), plus an overview of what this toolkit offers

All in 17 minutes flat.
