🥇 Intel oneAPI Toolkits Released

On December 8, Intel released a set of software tools designed for developing programs using a unified application programming interface (API) for various computing accelerators, including CPU vector instructions, GPU graphics accelerators, and FPGA programmable gate arrays — Intel oneAPI Toolkits for XPU Software Development.

The basic toolkit, 'oneAPI Base Toolkit', includes compilers, libraries, analysis and debugging tools, as well as compatibility tools that help migrate programs using CUDA to the Data Parallel C++ (DPC++) dialect.

Additional toolkits provide resources for high-performance computing (HPC Toolkit), artificial intelligence development (AI Toolkit), Internet of Things applications (IoT Toolkit), and high-performance visualization (Rendering Toolkit).

Intel oneAPI tools enable executing programs derived from the same source code on different architecture computing hardware.

Toolkits can be downloaded for free. In addition to the free version of the tools, there is a paid version that provides access to technical support from Intel engineers. There is also the option to use the Intel® DevCloud service for code development and testing, which provides access to various CPUs, GPUs, and FPGAs. Future versions of Intel® Parallel Studio XE and Intel® System Studio will be based on Intel oneAPI.
