Intel oneAPI

Why choose Intel oneAPI?

The use of high-performance computing technologies such as AI, Machine Learning, and Deep Learning requires developers to deploy and scale HPC workloads in a way that unleashes the full capabilities of Intel-powered processors, gas pedals, and HPC clusters.

Intel recently introduced the Intel oneAPI family, the next generation of Intel software development tools, based on current standards for creating and deploying high-performance, data-centric applications for various architectures.

INTEL ONE API BASE AND HPC TOOLKIT COMBINE TO CREATE ONE HPC PRODUCT:

One API Base and HPC Toolkits include state-of-the-art vectorization, multithreading, multi-node parallelization, and memory optimization techniques. Deploy applications and solutions on shared-memory and distributed-memory systems (such as clusters) using development tools, a standardized MPI library, MPI analyzer, and cluster tuning and monitoring tools.

INTEL oneAPI BASE TOOLKIT

Intel oneAPI Base Toolkit is a set of tools and libraries for developing high-performance, data-centric applications targeting a variety of Intel architectures (CPU, GPU, FPGA).

• Use one single programming model and one  cross-architecture language Data Parallel C++ (DPC++) to develop high-performance, data-centric applications that enable code reuse on hardware targets such as Intel’s CPUs, GPUs and FPGAs and allow custom tuning for each gas pedal.
• Develop efficiently using the DPC+/C++/C compiler, performance libraries, enhanced design-assist profiling and debugging tools, and accelerated Python.
• Migrate your CUDA code to the new DPC++ code that can be used on multiple architectures using a compatibility tool, and adapt it as needed for specific implementations.
• Develop future-ready code to facilitate adoption of future innovative HPC architectures.

Build, analyze, optimize and adapt fast HPC applications for a variety of architectures with vectorization, multithreading, multi-node parallelization and memory optimization techniques

• Build. Simplify the deployment of cross-architecture HPC applications on Intel processors and gas pedals using Intel’s industry-leading compilers and libraries.
