Given the growing heterogeneity of processor roadmaps, moving to an open standard, +platform-independent model such as SYCL is essential for modern software developers. SYCL has the further +advantage of supporting a single-source style of programming using completely standard C++. + +In this tutorial, we will introduce SYCL and provide programmers with a solid foundation they can build on +to gain mastery of this language. The main benefit of using SYCL over other heterogeneous programming models +is the single programming language approach, which enables one to target multiple devices using the same programming model, +and therefore to have a cleaner, portable, and more readable code. + +This is a hands-on tutorial. The real learning will happen as students write code. The format will be short presentations +followed by hands-on exercises. Hence, attendees will require their own laptop to perform the hands-on exercises. diff --git a/content/events/2024/2024-11-19-sycl-bof-at-sc-24.md b/content/events/2024/2024-11-19-sycl-bof-at-sc-24.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000..2603740 --- /dev/null +++ b/content/events/2024/2024-11-19-sycl-bof-at-sc-24.md @@ -0,0 +1,17 @@ +--- +contributor: max +date: '2024-09-19T14:46:00' +starts: '2024-11-19T12:15:00-04:00' +ends: '2024-11-19T13:15:00-04:00' +title: 'SYCL BoF @ SC 24 | Khronos SYCL: Heterogeneous Programming with Open Standards' +external_url: 'https://sc24.conference-program.com/presentation/?id=bof174&sess=sess631' +--- + +The open-standard SYCL programming model provides a portable way to program heterogeneous systems. +The abstractions and features for HPC in SYCL has seen its increased use in application domains needing +GPU-accelerated Top500 machines such as Aurora and Dawn, for fusion energy, molecular dynamics, aerospace and AI. + +In this session, we will bring together the community of everyone using and developing SYCL applications +and implementations.
