Tutorials

Tuesday 16th May – All Day

  • Advanced Hands-On OpenCL Tutorial

DHPCC++ 2017 Workshop

In response to the demand for heterogeneous programming models for C/C++, and the interest in driving these models in ISO C++, the original SYCL Workshop has morphed into “Distributed & Heterogeneous Programming in C/C++” and includes all the programming models that have been designed to support heterogeneous programming in C and C++.  The first DHPCC++ workshop was help at IWOCL 2017.
