alt Hacker NewsThe problem with OneAPI is naming. It leads people to believe that is another competing standard where in fact is is simply just an implementation of a standard compliant SYCL compiler. If it just had been named “Intel SYCL compiler”, similar to the existing and accepted Intel OpenCL compiler, it would have been easier.
What would you expect the hardware consortium to coordinate on? Unified ISA?
oneAPI is effectively an Intel-only platform not a standard.
Yes they have implementations on top of CUDA but they're maintained by... Intel. They didn't get buy-in for cross-vendor collaboration
