Write SYCL™ code and use oneAPI to target Nvidia and AMD GPUs with free binary plugins
This release provides plugins for the Intel® DPC++/C++ Compiler using the oneAPI Toolkits to enable Nvidia and AMD GPU platform targets. Although support for Nvidia and AMD GPUs has been available in the DPC++ open-source repository for a while now, this is the first official binary release. Together with this release, Codeplay is providing a commercial “Priority Support” package for...

Open Source SYCLomatic Tool for Converting CUDA to SYCL
SYCLomatic aims to ease the transition of NVIDIA CUDA code-bases over to C++17-based SYCL as the Khronos API single source standard. This joins the likes of AMD's hipSYCL and other projects over the years working to support SYCL integration with their compute stacks. The hope on Intel's side is to make CUDA code-bases more portable for running across Intel CPUs,...

The Game of Life: An Example of Local Memory Usage and Hierarchical Kernels in SYCL
John Conway’s cellular automaton, the Game of Life, has long been a staple project for those learning to code. It is also an “embarrassingly parallel” problem, making it a great learning tool for teaching ourselves how to parallelize processes using SYCL™. You will find that even the simplest parallel implementation of the Game of Life will yield a significant performance...
