Enabling the IBM LinuxONE and IBM Power 10 ( or later ) C/C++ Compilers to integrate with Intel oneAPI

Intel oneAPI is an open, cross-architecture programming model that frees developers to use a single code base across multiple architectures. The result is accelerated compute without vendor lock-in.

    Thanks for the additional information. We have assessed this idea further.

    C++ cmpiler is a continuous delivery offering, and aims to satisfy the needs of a rapidly evolving market segment.

    Product strategy evolves and requirements are continuously evaluated against that strategy. This Idea has recently been appraised against the wider product strategy and does not fall into IBMs delivery plans for the next 12 month. Whilst this Idea might be valid and we might look to deliver longer term, this Idea is being rejected at this time.

    We will also continue to monitor the number of votes to see how much demand there is from the community. The requirement will be kept in our internal Idea backlog and might be reassessed in the future.

    Hi Basil, Kindly, review the information in the following hyperlinks and I hope to give you the required information about porting Intel one API DPC++ to Xilinx FPGA, with an example of heterogeneous cpode in the same single piece of code which include invoking to CPU, GPU and Xilinx FPGA acceleration C/C++ code. https://www.oneapi.io/wp-content/uploads/sites/74/Ronan-Keryell-Porting-SYCL-with-oneAPI-DPC-to-Xilinx-FPGA-Versal-ACAP-CGRA.pdf it is better the IBM C/C++ has capability of using oneMPI Options as follows: https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/docs/dpcpp-cpp-compiler/developer-guide-reference/2023-0/offload-openmp-and-parallel-processing-options.html We hope the IBM C/C++ to support the SYCL, for more information about the variety of SYCL porting used in the companies mentioned in the following hyperlink https://www.khronos.org/assets/uploads/developers/presentations/SYCL-2020-Launch-Feb21.pdf It is better to add debugger tools to IBM C/C++ as an example the following hyperlink: https://doku.lrz.de/download/attachments/123175136/Intel%20Distribution%20for%20GDB.pdf?version=2&modificationDate=1668091037997&api=v2 IBM has advanced tools and I think adding the above capabilities will give advanced Heterogeneous programming with taking into consideration the following: 1- We will be able to develop and debug the Application for RedHat Openshift in IBM z, IBM LinuxONE, Intel Servers, Intel IPUs, Nvidia DPU, Nvidia DGX and ...etc by using oneAPI including oneHPC, oneDAL ,...etc. 2- Adding IBM Watson + Deep Search + IBM C/C++ with one API will enable us for AI Driven Coding, Debugging and Maintaining the Application Development with DevOps. Thanking you in advance for your kind efforts. Best regards, Abdullah A. Jassim University of Baghdad

    Hi Basil,

    Kindly, review the attached PDF File which include the Use cases that you asked about.

    Please note, all the use cases is concentrated on the Heterogeneous computing including IBM Power IBM z IBM LinuxONE, Intel IPU, Servers and FPGA Accelerators, AMD Servers, Xilinx FPGA, Nvidia DGX, Nvidia DPU, Nvidia GPU and other Hardware may added in the future.

    I will be very pleased to answer your questions.

    Best rregards,

    Abdullah A. Jassim

    Hi Abdullah, We have some additional questions from our internal discussions. Can you please clarify on what you mean by "compilers to integrate with Intel oneAPI "? Do you mean allow the compilers to play nice with Intel oneAPI? or to actually integrate the oneAPI as part of the compiler product?

    This Idea is being discussed further internally.
