The Intel-led oneAPI initiative—including a beta release of Intel® oneAPI Toolkits and DPC++ programming language—was formally announced in November 2019 at the Intel HPC Developer Conference.
But if you were unable to attend the Denver event (and most of us fall into this category), there’s good news: the keynote not only was recorded, it’s immediately available by clicking on the image right above these paragraphs. When you do, you’ll be treated to a detailed talk by Bill Savage, Intel Vice President of Intel Architecture, Graphics and Software and General Manager for Compute Performance and Developer Products.
Here’s what he explores:
- Is it possible to create a unified programming model for diverse processing architectures and hardware accelerators?
- Is it possible to develop a programming language that can be used across these diverse processing architectures and hardware accelerators while still delivering programmer productivity and uncompromised performance?
- Is there a set of APIs that can be adopted across the industry that will work for different processing hardware and even for hardware from different vendors?
- Can all of this be done while interoperating with existing programming models?
