Supporting high-level software tool flows is critical to a growing customer base who want to take advantage of heterogenous architectures. The new oneAPI from Intel is designed around code re-use while providing similar performance to other high-level tools. Learn about Intel’s oneAPI programming model and how it is solving programming challenges by enabling easier development for acceleration across multiple architectures.
In today’s HPC landscape, several hardware architectures are available for running workloads – CPUs, GPUs, FPGAs, and specialized accelerators. No single architecture is best for every workload, so using a mix of architectures leads to the best performance across the most scenarios. However, this architecture diversity leads to some challenges:
Each architecture requires separate programming models and toolchains:
Software development complexity limits freedom of architectural choice.
OneAPI delivers a unified programming model that simplifies development across diverse architectures. With the oneAPI programming model, developers can target different hardware platforms with the same language and libraries and can develop and optimize code on different platforms using the same set of debug and performance analysis tools – for instance, get run-time data across their host and accelerators through the Vtune profiler.
Using the same language across platforms and hardware architectures makes source code easier to re-use; even if platform specific optimization is still required when code is moved to a different hardware architecture, no code translation is required anymore. And using a common language and set of tools results in faster training for new developers, faster debug and higher productivity.

The oneAPI language is Data Parallel C++, a high-level language designed for parallel programming productivity and based on the C++ language for broad compatibility. DPC++ is not a proprietary language; its development is driven by an open cross-industry initiative.
Language to deliver uncompromised parallel programming productivity and performance across CPUs and accelerators:
Based on C++:
Community Project to drive language enhancements:
One of the main problems when compiling code for FPGA is compile time – the backend compile process required for translating DPC++ code into a timing closed FPGA design implementing the hardware architecture specified by that code can take hours to complete. So, the FPGA development flow has been tailored to minimize full compile runs.
What is oneAPI?
oneAPI is a cross-industry, open, standards-based unified programming model that delivers a common developer experience across accelerator architectures—for faster application performance, more productivity, and greater innovation. The oneAPI industry initiative encourages collaboration on the oneAPI specification and compatible oneAPI implementations across the ecosystem.
oneAPI provides libraries for compute and data intensive domains. They include deep learning, scientific computing, video analytics, and media processing.
The oneAPI specification extends existing developer programming models to enable a diverse set of hardware through language, a set of library APIs, and a low level hardware interface to support cross-architecture programming. To promote compatibility and enable developer productivity and innovation, the oneAPI specification builds upon industry standards and provides an open, cross-platform developer stack.
You’ll need three components to start developing with oneAPI. The oneAPI Base Toolkit and FPGA ADd-On are both available from Intel. The BSP for your BittWare FPGA card is available on BittWare’s developer site.
