+In this webinar attendees will learn the fundamentals of the SYCL programming model, exploring its key concepts and
+capabilities, and how to leverage oneAPI tools to bridge SYCL code with proprietary programming models such as CUDA and
+HIP, and deploy on a variety of hardware platforms.
+
+The webinar also features a detailed example of a successful CUDA to SYCL migration, showcasing the practical steps and
+benefits of this approach. With ample time for questions and discussion, attendees will leave with a solid understanding
+of SYCL and the confidence to apply it to their own HPC projects.
+
+Finally, the webinar also introduces developers to the SYCL oneAPI Hackaton at CINECA, a three-stage event (this
+webinar, an online learning course, and a final on-site Hackaton) where attendees will learn how to effectively write
+efficient heterogeneous SYCL code, and how to use oneAPI tools to deploy it on CINECA’s Leonardo, a Tier-0 EuroHPC
+supercomputer ranked #7 on the Top500 list of the world’s most powerful supercomputers.

+Most current HPC systems are heterogeneous and use accelerators. oneAPI is a standardized and portable programming model
+adapted to heterogeneous computing. In this course we will provide an introduction to Intel's oneAPI implementation,
+which supports two portable methods of heterogeneous computing: Data Parallel C++ (DPC) with SYCL and OpenMP for C, C++,
+and Fortran. Both are portable on any Intel CPU and Intel based accelerator, but also other GPUs. The course will give
+an introduction in these two programming methods, Intel's libraries like oneMKL and tools for performance analysis,
+profiling, and debugging. Further an introduction to Intel's DPC compatibility Tool to facilitate code migration from
+CUDA to SYCL and to Intel's MPI implementation support with GPU awareness completes the program.

+The Lattice Boltzmann Method (LBM) is a computational technique of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) that has gained
+popularity due to its high parallelism and ability to handle complex geometries with minimal effort. Although LBM
+frameworks are increasingly important in various industries and research fields, their complexity makes them difficult
+to modify and can lead to suboptimal performance. This paper presents miniLB, the first, to the best of our knowledge,
+SYCL-based LBM this http URL addresses the need for a performance-portable LBM proxy app capable of abstracting complex
+fluid dynamics simulations across heterogeneous computing systems. We analyze SYCL semantics for performance portability
+and evaluate miniLB on multiple GPU architectures using various SYCL implementations. Our results, compared against a
+manually-tuned FORTRAN version, demonstrate effectiveness of miniLB in assessing LBM performance across diverse
+hardware, offering valuable insights for optimizing large-scale LBM frameworks in modern computing environments.

+oneDPL, a part of the Intel® oneAPI Base Toolkit, is a flexible and optimized library for adding cross-platform
+parallelism to your C++ applications for accelerated heterogeneous computing across the latest hardware from diverse
+vendors. It lets you leverage the parallel programming capabilities of the SYCL framework, enhancing the performance of
+C++ workloads. Its latest feature also grants developers a freedom to choose from the available compute resources for
+executing their workloads, based on some pre-defined device selection policies provided by the library.
+
+With oneDPL, you can achieve remarkable performance improvements and acceleration in complex computations in real-world
+applications such as financial modeling, scientific projects, real-time systems, web and cloud-based services, and much
+more.
+
+This video will give you an overview of oneDPL and its component APIs and how C++ developers can benefit from the
+multiarchitecture, vendor-independent, accelerated parallel computing capabilities that the library adds to their C++
+applications.
