Ronan Keryell
Ronan Keryell is principal software engineer at Xilinx Research Labs. He works on SYCL C++-based programming models for heterogeneous system like FPGA and CGRA. He is the specification editor of the SYCL standard, member of the SYCL, SPIR & OpenCL standard committees from Khronos Group & ISO C++ committee. Ronan Keryell received his MSc in Electrical Engineering and PhD in Computer Science in 1992 from École Normale Supérieure of Paris & University of Paris Sud (France), on the design of a massively parallel RISC-based VLIW-SIMD graphics computer and its programming environment.
Aksel Alpay
Aksel Alpay is a researcher and software engineer from Heidelberg University, where he works on high performance computing topics. In particular, he is the creator and lead developer of the hipSYCL SYCL implementation, and also engages within the Khronos SYCL working group to advance the language.
Peter Žužek
Peter is a Senior Software Engineer at Codeplay where he has worked on the ComputeCpp runtime and is now the Team Lead of the SYCL-ECO team responsible for maintaining ComputeCpp and providing support for customer and open-source SYCL projects. He has also contributed to the SYCL 1.2.1 and SYCL 2020 specifications and continues to be involved in the SYCL Working Group in Khronos.
Steffen Larsen
Staff Software Engineer at Codeplay, Steffen has been working on DPC++ for CUDA since early in its development. With SYCL 2020 released and interest for SYCL on the rise, Steffen and his team at Codeplay are working to bring SYCL 2020 feature support to DPC++ for CUDA as they are implemented in DPC++
Igor Vorobtsov
