"Doing a project like this reinforces that there’s a process to learning. You have to measure, experiment, and repeat. You need to be able to visualize the changes you’re making. [Intel® VTune™ Profiler] was great for that. You need to challenge assumptions. We did not walk into this project expecting that we could reduce the disk count by 75%. And as you get data from each experiment, refine what you’re doing and try again."

"Migrating our tsunami simulation and prediction code 'Tsunami HySEA' from CUDA to SYCL was a decision that allowed our users and us to be independent of individual hardware vendors. Previously, the application required NVIDIA* GPUs. Now, with just one source code, the application runs with a similar performance on NVIDIA hardware, but can also run on other vendors' CPUs and GPUs, such as Intel® Data Center GPU Max Series. With a very good performance, its ability to run on different platforms, and a seamless transition process, SYCL has become an extremely useful tool for our parallel computing efforts. We recommend SYCL to any organization that wants to realize the full potential of heterogeneous computing and achieve excellent performance on multiple platforms using a single code.
