Sylkan: Towards a Vulkan Compute Target Platform for SYCL
Peter Thoman, Daniel Gogl, Thomas Fahringer · International Workshop on OpenCL · 2021
SYCL is a modern high-level C++ programming interface which excels at expressing data parallelism for heterogeneous hardware platforms in a programmer-friendly way, and is standardized by the Khronos Group. The latest version of the standard, SYCL 2020, removes the previous dependence of the specification and its implementations on an underlying OpenCL target, opening the door for compliant alternative implementations.
