Global Experts on eXtreme Performance Panel
The Intel eXtreme Performance Users Group (IXPUG) will present a brief overview of the organization and its activities, followed by a panel discussion focused on the expected adoption, support and application of oneAPI at various computing sites around the world. Experts from the various sites will discuss ongoing work with oneAPI and plans for its support and application at their site, in addition to elucidating on the expected impact on their user community. The session will close with a brief overview of opportunities for involvement in upcoming IXPUG activities.
