At the @risc_v Summit in Munich, we showed how you can bring the open ecosystem of #oneAPI and #SYCL to #RISCV hardware with the oneAPI Construction Kit.

The talk was recorded and is available here!

Big milestone for the @UXLfoundation!

This collaboration is a great endorsement of the work for the Foundation, and will allow for more effective development of vendor netural, standards-based libraries with #SYCL and #oneAPI

Check out the blog, and join us!

@codeandrew @blelbach @UXLfoundation @rodburns Great to see Nvidia embracing the movement

[Codeplay Software @codeplaysoft]

The #oneAPI Construction Kit lets you bring #SYCL and #oneAPI to new hardware.

This introduction from our CEO Andrew shows you what it's all about - and you can try it for yourself here!

This is a huge endorsement for the oneAPI Construction Kit, demonstrates the speed and ease of taking your system into a popular and established ecosystem.

[Codeplay Software @codeplaysoft]

We're really glad to see the success that @AxeleraAI has had with the #oneAPI Construction Kit. With it, they quickly brought a full #OpenCL implementation to their impressive Metis AIPU.

This blog was written by their team!

The #oneAPI 2024.1 release is here!

In this significant update, we've brought an experimental version of #SYCL Graph to NVIDIA GPUs and expanded support for AMD GPUs.

See the changes in more detail here,

Led by Verena Beckham of Codeplay, the new UXL Safety Critical SIG aims to bring the projects to safety-critical industries, like automotive, using #SYCL.

This is an important step forward for open standards!

Our plugins for #oneAPI are fully open source - you can build them yourself, or use our installer!

🔥llama.cpp officially supports Sycl, showing promising perf gains over OpenCL. Give a shot on Intel GPUs e.g., Arc 770!

Congrats Abhilash/Jianyu/Hengyu/Yu! Thanks @ggerganov for the review! Transformer-like API soon in https://t.co/oWYnKP7mG1 @RajaXg

[Codeplay Software @codeplaysoft]

With #oneAPI and #SYCL, @cdacindia overcame vendor lock-in using Codeplay's oneAPI plugin and increased performance for their open-source seismic modelling application. Another example of science benefitting from heterogeneous computing!

We will keep working to provide the best cross vendor solution for GPU compute programming. Good job ⁦@IntelSoftware⁩ ⁦@IntelDevTools⁩ @codeplaysoft⁩ teams for driving this support. 👏👏👏

[Codeplay Software @codeplaysoft]

The submission deadline for the @IWOCL Main Track has been extended to Jan 12th.

This is a great opportunity to share your research and work with the #OpenCL and #SYCL communities!

“I admire NVIDIA’s approach. They provide users with tools and allow them to program as they wish. This approach is more successful because it allows for adaptability. Despite the progress made by companies like Cerebras, Graphcore, and others, I believe too much time and effort is spent on developing prototypes of networks, rather than on creating tools that would allow users to do this work themselves.

Even now, I see companies building accelerators for the Transformer architecture. I would advise these companies to rethink their approach. They should aim for flexibility, ensuring that their architecture can accommodate changes. For instance, if we were to revert to recurrent nets in two years, their architecture should still be programmable.”

#oneAPI 2024.0.1 brought significant updates to our plugins for NVIDIA/AMD GPUs!

For NVIDIA, we've introduced an experimental images extension, to improve image usability in #SYCL

Our AMD plugin is also closer to moving out of beta!

At Intel Innovation, our CEO Andrew Richards introduced #SYCL and #oneAPI - talking about the challenges we can solve with open standards and open source software.

The talk was recorded and is freely available via this link!

[Charles Macfarlane @ChicMacfarlane]

A true endorsement of a tools strategy and benefits

[Codeplay Software @codeplaysoft]

Another success for #SYCL as FEniCS project researchers @Cambridge_Uni use the open standard to develop performant, portable libraries.

"We can use SYCL to develop computing-intensive applications and execute them on various hardware architectures"

Our SYCL BOF commences this evening at #SC23. Tom Deakin, James Brodman, & Michael Wong will discuss future directions and seek feedback on priorities for SYCLNext! Join us in room 601-603.

[Codeplay Software @codeplaysoft]

It's a real testament to the work of the #UXLFoundation that @VMware has now joined as a steering member to help lead the UXL Foundation.

This important work will enable an open ecosystem for accelerated computing, based on #SYCL!

Great to be @CppCon talking about our work with #SYCL SC.

Our VP of Safety Engineering and the SYCL SC Working Group Chair, Verena Beckham, has been taking part in a panel discussion on C++ Safety and Security with Bjarne Stroustrup and others!
