What’s included in the Intel oneAPI & HPC Toolkit?

• Intel® oneAPI DPC++/C++ Compiler
  A standards-based, CPU, GPU and FPGA compiler supporting Data Parallel C++, C++, C, SYCL and OpenMP. that leverages well-proven LLVM compiler technology and Intel’s history of compiler leadership for performance. Experience seamless compatibility with popular compilers, development environments, and operating systems.
• Intel® C++ Compiler Classic
  A standards-based C/C++ compiler supporting OpenMP focused on CPU development. Take advantage of more cores and built-in technologies in platforms based on Intel® CPU architectures. Experience seamless compatibility with popular compilers, development environments, and operating systems.
• Intel® Cluster Checker
  Verify that cluster components work together seamlessly for optimal performance, improved uptime, and lower total cost of ownership.
• Intel® Inspector
  Locate and debug threading, memory, and persistent memory errors early in the design cycle to avoid costly errors later.
• Intel® oneAPI DPC++ Library
  Speed up data parallel workloads with these key productivity algorithms and functions.
• Intel® oneAPI Threading Building Blocks
  Simplify parallelism with this advanced threading and memory-management template library.
• Intel® oneAPI Math Kernel Library
  Accelerate math processing routines, including matrix algebra, fast Fourier transforms (FFT), and vector math.
• Intel® oneAPI Data Analytics Library
  Boost machine learning and data analytics performance.
• Intel® oneAPI Video Processing Library
  Deliver fast, high-quality, real-time video decoding, encoding, transcoding, and processing.
• Intel® Advisor
  Design code for efficient vectorization, threading and offloading to accelerators.
• Intel® Distribution for Python
  Achieve fast math-intensive workload performance without code changes for data science and machine learning problems.
• Intel® DPC++ Compatibility Tool
  Migrate legacy CUDA code to a multi-platform program in DPC++ code with this assistant.
• Intel® Integrated Performance Primitives
  Speed performance of imaging, signal processing, data compression, cryptography, and more.

The latest oneAPI and AI 2023 tools continue to empower developers with multiarchitecture performance and productivity, delivering optimised support for Intel’s upcoming portfolio of CPU and GPU architectures and advanced capabilities:

The tools deliver performance and productivity enhancements and also add support for new Codeplay plug-ins for NVIDIA and AMD that make it easier than ever for developers to write SYCL code for non-Intel GPU architectures. These standards-based tools deliver choice in hardware and ease in developing high-performance applications that run on multiarchitecture systems.

With 48% of developers targeting heterogeneous systems that use more than one kind of processor*, more efficient multiarchitecture programming is required to address the increasing scope and scale of real-world workloads.

Using oneAPI’s open, unified programming model with Intel’s standards-based multiarchitecture tools provides freedom of choice in hardware, performance, productivity, and code portability for CPUs and accelerators. Code written for proprietary programming models, like CUDA, lacks portability to other hardware, creating a siloed development practice that locks organisations into a closed ecosystem.
