We're attending the SC Conference Series #SC24 next month! One of the events we're most looking forward to is the UXL Foundation hosted breakfast. This will be a great opportunity to meet experts in open-source development with #SYCL and #oneAPI. Best of all, it's open to everyone and free to attend. Whether you're a member of the UXL Foundation or just interested to learn more about heterogeneous code and open standards, we hope to see you there. Register by Nov 4th to attend. https://lnkd.in/eh68NE5E

The NWChemEx project is open-source computational chemistry code, renowned for its high and parallel processing capabilities, and offers extensive functionality for modeling molecular systems. However, the project faces a challenge in maintaining sustainable and portable software with multiple accelerator backends. The project has used CUDA, HIP and #SYCL for NVIDIA, AMD and Intel GPUs respectively - which brings with it challenges around benchmarking consistency, bugs, and more. That's why the Argonne National Laboratory has developed a cross-platform, portable SYCL implementation to support multiple accelerators with single-source code! Find out how Argonne National Labs achieved performance and portability with SYCL and #oneAPI in this detailed case study. It's a great example of unified software's benefits, in an increasingly diverse hardware landscape. https://lnkd.in/eNJEcSXu

Realizing maximum performance and low TCO requires deploying #AI with the latest hardware and software. Hear from Codeplay Software's Andrew Richards on how Intel Corporation is working together with industry experts for enabling business value with the AI and HPC community. #UXL https://lnkd.in/g4sTGbSW

Join me and other UXL Foundation members at SC24 next month when we will get together for a UXL hosted breakfast. The whole community is invited, so members and non-members of the UXL Foundation are welcome. Hear from some of our members on their latest contributions and meet our community. Registration is required by Nov 4th https://lnkd.in/exiq8cqS

This year, the #BEDE Supercomputer at Durham University added 3 NVIDIA Grace Hopper nodes, which combines Arm processors with high-performance GPUs. In this recent blog, our team shares our experience compiling #DPC++ for the NVIDIA Grace Hopper platform on BEDE and shows you how to build benchmarks, as well as how to build the #oneMKL library. As new and innovative hardware continues to evolve, the need for standardised and heterogeneous, vendor-neutral code with #oneAPI and #SYCL is clear. Read the blog below, and see how you can bring open standards to your code on supercomputers like BEDE. https://lnkd.in/esKKQhyJ

We recently enjoyed a rewarding three days at the Codeplay Software offices for a oneAPI hackathon with members of the DiRAC - HPC community. Following an initial training series, the teams leveraged Intel oneAPI Base Toolkit to achieve a significant performance boost for their workloads.

Make sure you don't miss the opportunity to attend the UXL Foundation's free, virtual #oneAPI DevSummit across October 9th - 10th. This summit brings together leading voices in open-source development with #oneAPI and #SYCL. Across their talks, you'll hear about industry implementations of open, heterogeneous code and how this benefits choice and innovation. See some highlighted speakers below, and sign up at https://lnkd.in/ed87tMxd

💬 “RISC-V is the fast growing, open standard instruction set architecture for processors of all types including CPUs and accelerators...The European Union, as part of its European Processor Initiative (EPI), is also looking to create their own microprocessor powered by RISC-V.” Now, RISC-V processor designers can seamlessly integrate SYCL and the oneAPI ecosystem with their hardware through the oneAPI Construction Kit. Codeplay Software's latest 4.0 release of the oneAPI Construction Kit introduced RISC-V native host for the first time, enabling developers to run code on a CPU and leverage the acceleration that SYCL offers through data parallelism.

The UXL Foundation devsummit is next week and online, so you can see what we've been up to building out an open ecosystem for software for accelerator processors like GPUs. I'm on a panel and will be giving my usual strong opinions! There are people showing how they've been using SYCL and oneAPI for really important work. And talks on how you can get involved in our future vision. Let's build the future together

Join us on the 9th and 10th October for lots of interesting sessions at this year's oneAPI DevSummit, hosted by the UXL Foundation. There is a lot to see, including: Dave Airlie from Red Hat Evgeny Drapkin from GE HealthCare Alex Pim and Dave Murray from Imagination Technologies Bongjun Kim from Samsung Rakshith G B from Fujitsu Juan Fumero From the TornadoVM project Manuj Sabharwal from Qualcomm David Hardy from the NAMD project
