Höchstleistungsrechenzentrum Stuttgart: Introduction to oneAPI, SYCL2020 and OpenMP offloading

Prerequisites and content levels

Good knowlegde any of C/C++/Fortran and familiarity with usual OpenMP programming is sufficient for the OpenMP part. For Data Parallel C++/SYCL knowlegde of C++11 or later is recommended (C++17 very much faciliates SYCL2020 programming).

Content levels

Basic: 6:35 hours
Intermediate: 4:25 hours

Instructors

Intel staff.

Learning outcomes

After this course, participants will:

be familiar with the oneAPI programming model,
have an overview over DPC++/SYCL programming,
have gained knowledge about fundamental OpenMP offloading,
have an overview over oneAPI libraries (oneMLK, ...),
basic knowledge about profiling and performance analysis,
basic knowlegde on (dynamical) debugging of programms using the oneAPI programming model,
be aware how Intel's Compatibility tool can help to migrate CUDA to SYCL code.

Exercises

During the lectures in the morning only demonstrations will be shown. However, we will also show how to access Intel's DevCloud where participants can explore and work on the examples given themselves in the afternoon. Additionally, Intel will offer support to a limited number of participants.
