oneAPI open source?

[san__frank]

According to Intel, oneAPI is open source. Are all the available DPC++ lauguage, libraries and tools open source, and available in source file format? If yes, where are the source stored?

Hi Frank,

Yes, they are available in source file format. The link to the binary files is https://software.intel.com/en-us/articles/oneapi-repo-instructions

For more details, you can also refer to this thread which will give you all the information related to your post.

Thanks for your reply. The link you provided is for downloading the binary files, not source files. Does this mean oneAPI doesn't open source the source files for DPC++ compiler and API libraries/tools etc.?

Hi Frank,

Please, go through this link https://github.com/intel/llvm. It is the source code of the Intel compiler for the SYCL implementation.

You can also go to this link https://github.com/topics/oneapi for more details.

Frank, Abhishek provided you links to the compiler sources but I wanted to give you some additional info.

You're correct that we've committed to providing oneAPI as an open, standards-based model.  The oneAPI open specification is available for review here: https://www.oneapi.com/spec/.  It consists of 9 elements: the DPC++ language & library, as well as 7 others that cover various aspects of oneAPI as a model: e.g. math, video, and deep learning APIs, or a hardware-level interface (called Level Zero).  Each element also has links to available open source implementations (example: DPC++ sycl-based compiler that Abhishek gave you, but also the data analytics implementation, etc.)  We're also working on adding an "Implementations" section to the page - hopefully in the next couple of weeks.

The language and associated compiler are certainly important but I wanted to make sure everyone is aware that the goal of the broader oneAPI effort is to deliver a language + all associated library & hw interfaces you might need to develop for accelerators.
