Heterogeneous Modern C++ using Khronos SYCL ad one API

• Michael Wong (Codeplay Software Ltd., ISOCPP, Khronos)

Room: Virtual Khronos SYCL has exploded in recent years as the go-to frameworkfor heterogeneous compute, graphics, and AI building on top of modern ISO C++, and extending it for use in all forms of accelerators. Its recent adoption in Intel’s one API as the heterogeneous programming model for all forms of processors, and inclusion in US Argonne National Lab in their upcoming AURORA Exascale supercomputer has certainly cemented SYCL as the programming frameworke for Modern C++ HPC workloads. Its strength is that enables modern C++, even template programming techniques such as that used in Tensorflow. More then that it is open, collaborative, cross-vendor and non-proprietary with a rich ecosystem and multiple implementations following Khronos’ rich portfolio of compute and graphics languages. This talk will introduce you to SYCL, its current status, while looking ahead to future upcoming SYCL 2020 features.
