Educator Program

"Incorporating oneAPI in our GPU programming course has broadened our understanding horizons, and access to DevCloud has helped us strengthen our StarPlat Graph DSL project with ongoing support for Intel GPUs. The in-person SYCL workshop by Jayaraman Mahalingam with online tutoring by Shriram Vasudevan was very well received by IIT Madras students, who would continue their association as student ambassadors. We look forward to a mutually fulfilling oneAPI journey with Intel."

—Rupesh Nasre, professor in the Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) department at Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Madras

"To program a machine [Aurora] with so many compute elements, it’s really not easy. Fortunately, we’ve partnered with Intel to work on oneAPI as a new programming model to program the nodes on this system and across the entire system. Using one interface, we can program the CPUs and the GPUs; you have one code base, is open standards based, and you don’t have to change your code as you move from CPU to GPU during development. It just works."

—Rick Stevens, professor, University of Chicago, and leader of Argonne’s exascale computing initiative

"The curriculum modules that I’m authoring will introduce heterogeneous hardware architectures represented by Intel CPU, GPU, and FPGA, and will incorporate concrete coding examples to demonstrate how to design data parallel algorithms and/or port existing applications. These concepts are of high importance to undergraduate and graduate students, which represent the future workforce."

—Yan Luo, PhD, professor, University of Massachusetts Lowell

"Since 2020, our BSc (Hons) in Information Technology degree program at the Faculty of Computing of SLIIT has utilized the Intel Developer Cloud for our final year Parallel Computing module. In 2022, we integrated oneAPI into the curriculum and were able to take advantage of the exceptional academic resources provided by the program. Through the use of Intel Developer Cloud, our students were able to gain hands-on experience with a high-performance computing cluster, including utilizing MPI, OpenMP*, and oneAPI technologies.”

—Nuwan Kodagoda, dean and faculty of computing at Sri Lanka Institute of Information Technology

"I am excited to establish a new oneAPI OpenMP training program with Intel. As heterogeneous supercomputers worldwide are on the rise, and diverse high-performance computing is practically ubiquitous, there is a need to raise a new generation of developers who can push legacy and new-generation applications' performance to the limit. With oneAPI, we can close the gap between software and hardware and exploit the full potential."

—Gal Oren, Technion, Israel Institute of Technology

"We’re excited about the oneAPI curriculum we’re creating, and the collaborative nature of Intel’s academic programs to educate the future technologists."

—George K. Thiruvathukal, full professor, Loyola University Chicago

"Our work with Intel’s academic program is going great. Our oneAPI curriculum is on schedule and we’re excited about the work at this year’s HPC conference (WSCAD) in Florianopolis."

—Tiago da Conceição Oliveira, professor, SENAI

"FPGAs are capable of accelerating a wide range of applications, but programming in hardware description language is complex and requires specific knowledge. oneAPI facilitates the automatic generation of hardware accelerators from high-level descriptions. Teaching these concepts is important and integrating them into my course has been straightforward with the educator resources that Intel provided."

—Ricardo Menotti, professor, Federal University of San Carlos, Brazil

"The SYCL Programming for Accelerated Computing teaching kit makes it easy to teach and integrate modern parallel and heterogeneous computing concepts."

—Aleksandar Ilic, assistant professor, Universidade de Lisboa

"KICIT Pvt Ltd works with the Intel® Academic Program for oneAPI to create programming workshops that teach software developers to implement oneAPI for uses such as IoT, embedded systems, device drivers, and Data Parallel C++ (DPC++)."

—Yashavant Kanetkar, director of KICIT Pvt Ltd and adjunct professor at the Indian Institute of Information Technology, Nagpur

"I have integrated oneAPI concepts in my high-performance scientific computing classes as I see the criticality of teaching heterogenous programming to my students. I've found Intel's academic material useful and a great reference."

—Aiichiro Nakano, professor, University of Southern California

"I am very glad to integrate Intel oneAPI technology into the course of C programming practice. The students have learned the cutting-edge technology and gained a lot."

—Yuejian Fang, associate professor, School of Software and Microelectronics, Peking University

"Introducing SYCL in my undergraduate and graduate courses is essential not only in teaching heterogeneous programming concepts but also in showing my students the value of open standards and cross-platform software development. Parallel and Distributing Computing is our course for undergrads and Cloud Computing is for master-level students. I already have students completing tasks for the courses and providing very positive feedback." 

–Aleš Zamuda, associate professor, University of Maribor
