oneAPI Compilers and Support

The Intel oneAPI compiler and Codeplay plugins for Nvidia GPUs are available on Polaris. The oneAPI compilers are not enabled under the Cray Programming Environment system but can be used separately. Two oneAPI variants are provided, the first being a "release" version based on Intel's officially released oneAPI toolkit. Intel Release Notes

Note

The 2023.2.1 release of oneAPI Toolkit does not yet support oneDPL on Nvidia devices. Though oneMKL is now added to 2023.2.1 release onwards

The other variant being a build from the open-source. This variant will be more up-to-date at the risk of bugs and breakages based on code that has not undergone a full release cycle. The documentation is located on the SYCL page. Most notable differences being, icx/icpx are the names of C/C++ compilers respectively when using the release version of the module where as clang/clang++ are for open-source variant.

oneAPI uses the clang (or icx/icpx wrapper) for compiling and linking for the Nvidia A100 SM80 architecture.

Running

The library should select the GPU by default, but selection of the GPUs can be forced via the ONEAPI_DEVICE_SELECTOR 

$ ONEAPI_DEVICE_SELECTOR=cuda:gpu ./a.out
or a specific GPU. 
$ ONEAPI_DEVICE_SELECTOR=cuda:gpu:3 ./a.out
