Please state why you believe this package should be included
I'd like to see Intel's DPC++ compiler added to AerynOS to enable SYCL programming and support for the oneAPI ecosystem.
Why this would be useful:
- We already have oneTBB which is part of oneAPI, so this feels like the next logical step
- Would enable SYCL programming for parallel computing across different devices
- Opens the door for other oneAPI libraries like oneDPL, oneMath, etc.
My thinking on approach:
Rather than trying to add all oneAPI components at once, I think we could do this incrementally:
- Start with the DPC++ compiler (this request)
- Then gradually add the other oneAPI libraries as needed
Technical notes:
- The compiler is open source (Intel's LLVM project on GitHub)
- Can be built from source rather than needing Intel's binary packages
- Should work with standard build tools
I think this would be valuable for developers wanting to do parallel programming and would set up AerynOS well for supporting more advanced computing workloads.
