DPC++ Question

[Residentx]

I was watching this video today:

Data Parallel C++: An Open Alternative for Cross-Architecture

https://techdecoded.intel.io/big-picture/data-parallel-c-an-open-alternative-for-cross-architecture-development ;

I'm in agreement on why they used to C++ to build OneAPI on but why or is Python on the agenda?

Almost all NEW developers are learning this language not C++. Is three a roadmap to include this language?

Hi George,

Thanks for reaching out to us. Will get back to you soon.

Hi George,

Intel Distribution of Python is yet another component which is part of oneAPI base toolkit and AI Toolkit. If you are looking for DPC++ and Python interoperability, then we will check and get back to you.

oneAPI is addressing the need of Heterogenous architectures with best performance on each of them. Python being high level language does not guarantee same performance as native C/C++ language does. Hence Intel has in put effort to strengthen the high performance language as C++ and come up with the unified programming using DPC++ on Heterogenous platforms.

Hi Jyotsna,

Love your HPC 2019 Background Photo!

Thanks for the comments about C/C++ vs. Python.

Thanks George! I am closing this case.
