At the ISC 2024 event, we had the opportunity to interview Andrew Richards, the CEO of Codeplay Software, a company based in Edinburgh that was acquired by Intel two years ago. During our conversation, Richards discussed Codeplay’s involvement in supporting the oneAPI ecosystem, a unified programming model created by Intel to provide a consistent developer experience across various accelerator architectures.
Codeplay is known for its expertise in SYCL, an open standard programming model developed by the Khronos Group and utilized within the oneAPI framework. Richards emphasized the importance of open collaboration and adherence to standards in the field of high-performance computing and artificial intelligence. Both Intel and Codeplay are dedicated to advancing science and improving business competitiveness through their contributions to the heterogeneous computing landscape.
The collaboration between Intel and Codeplay in advancing the oneAPI ecosystem highlights their commitment to driving innovation and facilitating a seamless programming experience for developers working across different accelerator hardware platforms. By leveraging Codeplay’s expertise in SYCL and Intel’s resources and technology, the two companies are working towards creating a more efficient and streamlined programming environment for high-performance computing and AI applications.
Overall, Richards’ insights into Codeplay’s role in the oneAPI ecosystem underscore the importance of industry collaboration and the pursuit of common standards in advancing technology and enabling new possibilities in the world of computing. Through their joint efforts, Intel and Codeplay are making significant strides towards optimizing developer workflows and driving progress in the field of HPC-AI.
