# Part 1. What is oneAPI?

"Why is a unified heterogeneous programming environment necessary?"

In this webinar, we will begin with a philosophical discussion on programming environments rather than technical details. This foundational discussion is essential to understanding the true value of Intel's newly introduced oneAPI.

oneAPI unifies multiple programming environments for various types of processors and accelerators into a single platform.

We hope this session will help you appreciate the necessity of a unified heterogeneous programming environment such as oneAPI by examining the importance of parallel programming, programming barriers, and the problems of existing programming environments caused by fragmentation.

 


# Part 2. Parallel Programming with oneAPI

oneAPI is a standard parallel programming model applicable to all of Intel's diverse hardware including CPUs, GPUs, and FPGAs.

Securing code portability and performance portability between different accelerator processors has been a long-standing challenge in heterogeneous computing, and oneAPI represents the culmination of Intel's extensive efforts to overcome this challenge.

In this webinar, you will learn the basic methods for writing parallel programs using the Data Parallel C++ (DPC++) language provided by oneAPI.

DPC++ is a language based on SYCL, an open standard created by the Khronos Group. Inheriting the SPMD (Single Program Multiple Data) concept that has been commonly used in conventional computing (particularly in GPU computing), it enables easy parallelization of diverse workloads with data parallelism while simultaneously supporting various features of modern C++.

Through this webinar, you will be able to write parallel programs executable on diverse hardware platforms and establish a foundation for understanding the various features of oneAPI and DPC++.
