"After announcing oneAPI at the end of 2018 and then going into beta last year, oneAPI 1.0 is now official for this open-source, standards-based unified programming model designed to support Intel's range of hardware from CPUs to GPUs to other accelerators like FPGAs. Intel's oneAPI initiative has been one of several exciting software efforts led by the company in recent years while continuing to serve as one of the world's largest contributors to open-source software."Z

The problem with hardware vendors controlling the development API's is that it invariably winds up being used as a tool to exclude the competition.

Remember the Intel Compiler? Or Nvidia's Hairworks/Gameworks?

Ideally API's like these should be completely independent.

I hate it when autocorrect messes everything up...

I remember reading about this API and thinking, nah that’s not gonna work. Now I’m reading and like well fuck they made it work. It’s not perfect but it’s a hell of a starting point.
 
Sooo...it's a new sdk for intel cpus gpus and other chip(set)s?

Edit: hmm, broader than just oems, and seems to work well on some nvidia and amd hardware according to tfa. Interesting...
