The Khronos\u00ae Group is celebrating a significant milestone as SYCL\u2122 marks its tenth anniversary. First ratified and\npublished in May 2015, SYCL has grown from an ambitious specification to a cornerstone of heterogeneous computing,\nenabling developers to write single-source C++ code for a wide range of accelerators, including CPUs, GPUs, FPGAs, and\nspecialized AI hardware.<\/p>\n

Edge computing is essential to handle increasing data volumes and processing capacities. It provides real-time and\nsecure data processing near data sources, like smart devices, alleviating cloud computing energy use, and saving\nnetwork bandwidth. Specialized accelerators, like GPUs and FPGAs, are vital for low-latency edge computing but the\nrequirements to customized code for different hardware and vendors suppose important compatibility issues.<\/p>\n

This paper evaluates the potential of SYCL in addressing code portability issues encountered in edge computing. We\nemployed the Polybench suite to compare various SYCL implementations, specifically DPC++ and AdaptiveCpp, with the\nnative solution, CUDA. The disparity between SYCL implementations was negligible, at just 5%. Furthermore, we\nevaluated SYCL in the context of specific edge computing applications such as video processing using three different\noptical flow algorithms. The results revealed a slight performance gap of 3% when transitioning from CUDA to SYCL.<\/p>\n

Upon evaluating energy consumption, the observed difference ranged from, depending on the application utilized. These\ngaps are the price one may need to pay when achieving the ability to successfully run the same code on two distinct\nedge boards.

8 leading European organisations join forces to bring together RISC-V and SYCL standards to demonstrate ground-breaking\nadvances in scalability of extreme data analytics via fully-open AI acceleration<\/p>\n

\u2018Several of those of us working on Celerity have worked with GPUs for many years,\u2019 explains Biagio. \u2018What we saw was\nthat existing technologies made an already difficult task \u2013 writing and maintaining efficient software for distributed\ncompute clusters \u2013 even more challenging: now you not only needed to manage the distribution of data and work across\ncluster nodes,but also to GPUs on each individual node, generally using a completely separate technology. An example\nwould be an MPI+ CUDA hybrid program, or MPI + OpenCL if you planned to support vendor-agnostic technologies.\u2019\u2018However,\nwe also had previous experience with academic projects seeking to automate this entire stack and saw how ultimately they\nfell short of their goals,\u2019 adds Peter. \u2018So when SYCL\u2122 was released as a vendor-agnostic, high-level standard for\nwriting single-node applications targeting heterogeneous hardware, we asked ourselves whether it would be possible to\nextend it to clusters of GPUs and accelerators with minimal code changes.
