+At the 13th IWOCL International Workshop on OpenCL* and SYCL, Intel reported on several experimental proposals for increasing 
+the reach and applicability of SYCL as a common cross-architecture framework for accelerated computing for different verticals 
+and use cases, from AI PC to supercomputer and from edge to cloud.
+
+This article provides a glimpse into two of those ideas that expand SYCL in different directions.

+With fast advancements in detector and software technologies used in large-scale
+physics experiments, the requirements for the performance of computing systems used 
+for both online and offline data processing have grown drastically.
+
+This paper presents the application of the SYCL heterogeneous programming model
+that can help overcome those drawbacks. By the introduction of an abstraction layer, 
+the source code is decoupled from the computing device architecture, and the developer 
+can select the compilation target.

+Codeplay is celebrating the 10th anniversary of SYCL™ and taking time to reflect on the progress obtained in the last decade. SYCL is an open, standards-based abstraction layer that empowers developers to take advantage of diverse hardware architectures. Whether CPUs, GPUs, FPGAs or new and innovative AI accelerators, developers can write their application with SYCL and run it simultaneously across their hardware without the need for long, complex porting efforts and the maintenance of multiple software stacks.
+
+Members of Codeplay Software share applications of SYCL™  and their own experiences of watching SYCL evolve over the decade.

+at runtime using the kernel_compiler extension. The feature is also available in the 2025.2 
+release of Intel’s oneAPI distribution. This blog post explores how applications can leverage 
+runtime compilation as a powerful addition to SYCL’s toolbox for kernel specialisation by C++ metaprogramming.
