Given the growing heterogeneity of processor roadmaps, moving to an open standard, +platform-independent model such as SYCL is essential for modern software developers. SYCL has the further +advantage of supporting a single-source style of programming using completely standard C++. + +In this tutorial, we will introduce SYCL and provide programmers with a solid foundation they can build on +to gain mastery of this language. The main benefit of using SYCL over other heterogeneous programming models +is the single programming language approach, which enables one to target multiple devices using the same programming model, +and therefore to have a cleaner, portable, and more readable code. + +This is a hands-on tutorial. The real learning will happen as students write code. The format will be short presentations +followed by hands-on exercises. Hence, attendees will require their own laptop to perform the hands-on exercises.
