Agent IP Component Kernels
SYCL* kernels generate an interface that can control the kernel and pass in the kernel arguments to the IP component.
By default, the Intel® oneAPI DPC++/C++ Compiler generates an Avalon agent interface to control the kernel and pass in the kernel arguments. The compiler also generates a header file that provides the addresses of various registers in the agent memory map. A top-level header named register_map_offsets.hpp is created for each device image that you can include if you are interfacing with the SYCL* device image.
An additional header is generated for each of your kernels within the .prj directory. The register_map_offsets.hpp header file includes these files, but contain the addresses and offsets for each of the kernels.

While the default option for kernels are agent kernels, there is a register_map_interface macro to mark a function as an agent kernel. This is shown in the following example:
#include <sycl/ext/intel/prototype/interfaces.hpp> using namespace sycl; struct MyIP { int *input_a, *input_b, *input_c; int n; MyIP(int *a, int *b, int *c, int N_) : input_a(a), input_b(b), input_c(c), n(N_) {} register_map_interface void operator()() const { for (int i = 0; i < n; i++) { input_c[i] = input_a[i] + input_b[i]; } } };
