Intel releases oneAPI 2023 toolkit
Intel announced the launch of the oneAPI 2023 toolkit. The new version of the toolkit will support Intel’s fourth-generation Xeon Scalable processors, Xeon Max series, and data center GPUs, including the Flex series and Max series. These tools provide enhanced performance and productivity, while also adding support for the new Codeplay plugin, making it easier than ever for developers to write SYCL code for non-Intel GPU architectures. These standards-based tools provide hardware choices that make it easier to develop high-performance applications running on multi-architecture systems.
This new oneAPI tools release helps developers take advantage of the advanced capabilities of Intel hardware:
- 4th Gen Intel Xeon Scalable and Xeon CPU Max Series processors with Intel® Advanced Matrix Extensions (Intel® AMX), Intel® Quick Assist Technology (Intel® QAT), Intel® AVX-512, bfloat16, and more.
- Intel® Data Center GPUs, including Flex Series with hardware-based AV1 encoder, and Max Series GPUs with data type flexibility, Intel® Xe Matrix Extensions (Intel® XMX), vector engine, Intel® Xe Link, and other features.
oneAPI is a cross-architecture programming tool designed to simplify programming across GPUs, CPUs, FPGAs, and AI accelerators. It can be used with Intel’s own devices or chips from other manufacturers to optimize workloads. oneAPI is a cross-platform programming interface. Customers can optimize and most efficiently accelerate the processing program for which specific architecture, and support Intel-specific instructions such as AVX-512 and DL Boost. Intel released the oneAPI toolkit for the first time at the end of 2020.
