IWOCL 2022 Poster: Embedding a DSL in SYCL for Productive and Performant Tensor Computing on Heterogeneous
Devices
May 11, 2022
Presentation at the 2022 10th
International Workshop on OpenCL (IWOCL) and SYCL.
This project focuses on combining data parallelism provided though the combination of Data Parallel C++
(DPC++), and Temporal To Spatial Programming (T2SP) to provide a hardware agnostic programming model to
construct new tensor computations.
