Intel OneApi Developer Tools 2021.2

What's in the oneAPI toolkit updates
AI and HPC enhancements
AI customers will see numerous enhancements for XGBoost and scikit-learn performance, plus upgrades to Intel Optimization for Tensorflow and PyTorch. PyTorch provides improved INT8 optimizations, while the Intel Low Precision Optimization Tool extends support to new backends such as PyTorch and ONNX Runtime. These both strongly support effective quantization that many find valuable for increasing performance. Intel oneAPI Deep Neural Network Library (oneDNN) introduced binary post-op APIs for (de)-convolution, pooling, eltwise, binary, inner product, matmul and reduction (GPU only) along with performance optimizations for CPUs and GPUs.
The Intel MPI Library expanded container support, and updated Mellanox OFED support. Intel Advisor enhanced the Source View analysis for Offload Modeling and GPU Roofline capabilities. To let us examine hardware utilization at a glance, Intel VTune Profiler added a Platform Diagram, a new starting point for the Input and Output analysis. It reveals system topology and high-level utilization metrics for hardware resources including PCIe devices, Intel® Ultra Path Interconnect, and memory.
Media acceleration, Ray-Tracing, and Rendering continue to delight
Volume ray tracing enhancements include VDB multi-attribute volume support, faster structured and VDB volume sample and quicker interval iteration on structure, VDB, and unstructured volumes. An enhanced denoising library now supports directional lightmaps and Apple Silicon. Colored transparency, colored shadows, cones, and cylinder geometries are available within the ray tracing API and engine help with scientific visualization and general rendering.
Library GUI enhancements include an improved Lights editor for easy scene lighting, gITF loader improvements enabling animation and skinning of triangle meshes, lights, materials and textures, and better scene file load+save by including model transforms, material, lights and camera state.
Media support for fast transcoding, streaming, and more, see multiple enhancements including the Intel oneAPI Video Processing Library (oneVPL) expanding support for Intel GPUs including Intel Iris Xe and Iris Xe MAX Graphics when using Core Media APIs (these were previously in the Intel Media SDK and are now bundled in oneVPL for a more seamless oneAPI experience). Backwards compatibility provides developers a migration path from Media SDK to new features and capabilities, such as easier device enumeration, easier video processing initialization and extended AV1 encode features.
XPU programming with attitude
To dive into the details that motivates oneAPI, SYCL, and DPC++, I'm launching my inaugural blog on heterogeneous programming (#xpublog). I start with an introduction to XPUs, DevCloud, and SYCL/DPC++. It's a modest start, and we'll grow from there. Please check it out and leave feedback on what you would like to hear more about.
Another great place to learn is IWOCL / SYCLcon, and the pre-conference oneAPI summit "at IWOCL21". The SYCLcon talks are available to view on demand starting April 26; free registration will get you all the information on how to view, simply visit the IWOCL21/SYCLcon21 registration page. I'm honored to be giving a talk titled "SYCL, DPC++, XPUs, oneAPI - a View from Intel."
Learn how to make the most out of the Intel oneAPI toolkits
There continues to be a huge amount of training available on all aspects of the toolkits, and DevCloud remains a fantastic place to try out the tools without having to set up your own system. It is a great place to test code and workloads across all types of Intel CPUs and accelerators for free. DevCloud is loaded with the new tools as well - so they are there for you to enjoy as well.
oneAPI is Intel's developer software project,which will provide developers with a unified environment that allows them to build applications across different compute architectures in a single tool. Intel can enable an experience like oneAPI primarily because of its learnings while developing and operating OpenVINO. The gold release of the toolkits includes a set of tools and libraries for building specific applications. Also, oneAPI allows developers to reuse code across different hardware like CPUs, GPUs, FPGAs, or ML accelerators. The toolkits use new hardware capabilities and instructions like Intel AVX-512 and Intel DL Boost on CPUs.
The oneAPI project has gained the support and endorsements from industry giants like Microsoft Azure and Tensorflow. The software project is going well to date, but there is a lot more work to be done to continue building out the tools and libraries of oneAPI.
Intel's oneAPI is the company's most ambitious software project currently, and it also has tremendous competitive advantage potential if Intel can pull it off. With oneAPI, a developer can use a single API instead of writing on four or five different ones. That allows the developer to choose the best architecture for their problem and use it for the development duration. It also makes it a lot easier for customers and developers to go 'all-in" on Intel compute. oneAPI doesn't remove the need or ability for developers to drill into underlying code and make optimizations to get the absolute best performance and efficiency- they can, but oneAPI enables an abstraction layer that makes it easier for a developer to arbitrate between different compute units.
This release (2021.2) ranks as a 'dot' update release but still manages to adds enough useful enhancements to make it worthwhile to install the update.
