OneAPI is an open standard for a unified application programming interface intended to be used across different compute accelerator architectures, including CPUs, GPUs, AI accelerators and field-programmable gate arrays (FPGA).  It's aim is to unify the programming model as well as simplifying cross-architecture development. It also provides libraries for:

• Deep Neural Network learning applications.
• Collective Communications  for machine learning and deep learning projects.
• Data Analytics making big data analysis faster using optimized algorithms.

In this workshop, we will explore some of the optimized Python math libraries and image inferencing toolkit using oneAPI.  We will also look at how the toolkit can be used to optimize Pytorch and recent YOLOv8 models.  Some performance benchmarking will also be discussed and demonstrated.

This workshop will be delivered online in one session:

• June 19 from 1:30 P.M. to 4:30 P.M. (Eastern Daylight Time)

Compute Ontario Summer School is a series of online courses on Advanced Research Computing, High Performance Computing, and Research Data Management. It runs from June 12 to June 29, 2023. The courses are delivered each workday from 9:00am to 4:30pm (EDT) with a lunch break,  in two parallel streams. You can register for any number of courses. Registration is free. Please register early as many courses have a limited capacity. The Summer School is jointly delivered by SHARCNET, SciNet, Centre for Advanced Computing, and RDM Network of Experts.
