oneAPI (compute acceleration)
open-in-new
<p>oneAPI is an <a href="/facts/Open_standard/RGvhGQVI">open standard</a>, adopted by Intel, for a unified <a href="/facts/Application_programming_interface/GMlN4vUr">application programming interface</a> (API) intended to be used across different computing <a href="/facts/Hardware_acceleration/ej5sM7hB">accelerator</a> (<a href="/facts/Coprocessor/WsVXzAGo">coprocessor</a>) architectures, including <a href="/facts/GPU/PTK1RQVp">GPUs</a>, <a href="/facts/AI_accelerator/k0QuXHIb">AI accelerators</a> and <a href="/facts/Field-programmable_gate_array/M8LSGcAU">field-programmable gate arrays</a>. It is intended to eliminate the need for developers to maintain separate code bases, multiple programming languages, tools, and workflows for each architecture. </p><p>oneAPI competes with other GPU computing stacks: <a href="/facts/CUDA/fvPpolot">CUDA</a> by <a href="/facts/Nvidia/8QfCgqbu">Nvidia</a> and <a href="/facts/ROCm/MX8uasuY">ROCm</a> by <a href="/facts/AMD/CB1G7QTb">AMD</a>. </p>
