Codeplay contribution to DPC++ brings SYCL support for NVIDIA GPUs
“Last year we were really excited to learn that Intel is putting a huge effort behind SYCL and has been developing oneAPI that includes DPC++ (an implementation of SYCL with extensions) for its CPUs, GPUs and FPGAs. With the additional support for SYCL from Xilinx, Renesas and Imagination Technologies, software developers are now able to target a wide range of...

Intel Continues Improving Its SYCL Stack - Now Supports Ahead-Of-Time Compilation
“The Khronos SYCL standard as a single-source C++-based programming model for OpenCL is one of the exciting elements for Intel’s GPU compute plans with the forthcoming Xe graphics cards and fits into their oneAPI umbrella. They just released their SYCL Compiler and Runtimes 2019-12 release with numerous updates.”

Choosing a Good Work Group Size for SYCL
” A “work group” is a 1, 2 or 3 dimensional set of threads within the thread hierarchy and contains a set of “work items,” and each of these work items maps to a “core” in a GPU.
When using SYCL with an OpenCL device, the “work group” size often dictates the occupancy of the compute units. In order to...

Experiences with SYCL for the hydrodynamics mini-app, CloverLeaf
“We have most recently ported CloverLeaf to SYCL, and this blog post demonstrates our experiences. As a starting point, we took our Kokkos port of CloverLeaf, which was already C++ throughout, with the key computational kernels already ported to C++ lambda functions. The programming abstractions from Kokkos do differ a little to those in SYCL at a high-level, however there...

Bringing Nvidia GPU support to SYCL developers
“We are excited to announce that in 2020 we will be releasing a project that brings full support for Nvidia devices to SYCL developers. This project will be fully open source and initially includes integration with Intel’s oneAPI, however it could be integrated with other SYCL implementations. During this project our engineers have been working in conjunction with Intel’s engineers...
