Recently, Intel and SiPearl* (a European-based CPU design company) partnered to develop the foundation for an exascale supercomputing center that combines European technology and Intel's oneAPI software and hardware. The technology revolves around an ARM* processor (Neoverse v8) and HPC-class discrete GPUs from Intel (with X^e Architecture). To make this heterogenous ecosystem function, Intel uses the cross-architecture powers of oneAPI with SYCL* (DPC++) code compiled to target ARM as well as X^e Architecture. The benefit: One code base, multiple diverse target architectures, and no vendor-lock-in.
