SYCL is an open standard developed by the Khronos™ Group that enables developers to write code for heterogeneous systems using standard C++.

Codeplay implements MKL-BLAS for NVIDIA GPUs using SYCL and DPC++

by Codeplay

About the release:

Software developers are looking more than ever at how they can accelerate their applications without having to write optimized processor specific code. SYCL is the industry standard for C++ acceleration, giving developers a platform to write high-performance code in standard C++, unlocking the performance of accelerators and specialized processors.

The oneMKL BLAS library is the first math library implementation for oneAPI to enable support for NVIDIA GPUs and uses the interoperability features implemented by DPC++. This work consists of a major open source contribution to the oneAPI intiative by Codeplay. It also represents an opportunity for developers to use SYCL as an alternative to using CUDA for developing high performance parallel applications.

How to Use C++ for Azure Storage

by Bartlomiej Filipek

From the article:

Blob storage is an object storage service you use in Azure. It is designed for storing large volumes of unstructured data, including text, binary data, images, and text. In this service, your data is stored in containerized blobs with a directory-like structure. You can use blob storage to ensure flexible access to storage, high availability, and data consistency. Read on to learn how you can use C++ with Azure storage...

Finding build bottlenecks with C++ Build Insights

by Kevin Cadieux

From the article:

C++ Build Insights offers more than one way to investigate your C++ build times. In this article, we discuss two methods that you can use to identify bottlenecks in your builds: manually by using the vcperf analysis tool, or programmatically with the C++ Build Insights SDK. We present a case study that shows how to use these tools to speed up the Git for Windows open source project. We hope these tutorials will come in handy when analyzing your own builds...

corobatch: using coroutines to batch operations with no effort

by Francesco Zoffoli

From the article:

Often performing operations in batch is more efficient than doing them one at a time. Typical examples could be most kinds of I/O, or vectorized instructions.

Unfortunately, doing operations on groups of items at the same time can be much less readable than doing them one element at a time...
