oneAPI Community Led Forum Series at UC Berkeley

Community Led oneAPI Forum Series at UC Berkeley

Hello! We are starting a new in-person/hybrid event series where we have community organized forums around oneAPI, SYCL and cross-architecture computing. The purpose is to share ideas, build a connection to those interested in topics in AI, Machine Learning, High Performance Computing.

Forums are meant to be fun and informal! The talks are set to be 20 minutes to help encompass a variety of topics. Whether you are an educator, student, researcher, entrepreneur or just a dabbler – this will be a space to interact, learn, and meet others who are interested in the same topics.

We have a joint headliner from Intel Corporation – Dr. Leila Sabeti PhD and Taylor Lee, who will have an demo session around openVINO.

So join us for an exciting time mixing up with passionate people interested in the same kind of things you are!

Lunch is provided! 🎉🎉🎉

Not able to make the trip to Berkeley - this is a hybrid event! You can join from a zoom link. In addition, you can use discord to plan and talk amongst both online and in-person participants.

Not Familiar with oneAPI/SYCL?

What is oneAPI?

oneAPI is an openly spec’d standard based on SYCL - an open alternative to CUDA that allows you to run on multiple accelerators CPUs, GPUs, and FPGAs. If the idea that you could use all the hardware on your laptop or be able to have a single code base that will run on multiple GPU or CPU architectures for AI, Machine Learning, and other things, then come over and enjoy a few hours with the oneAPI community!

Ground Transportation/Parking
If you can avoid the need to park a car, please do so. Parking spaces in the Southwest Parking Lot of the Clark Kerr campus are very limited. Parking in the Southwest Parking Lot costs $20/day and spots are available on a first-come first-served basis. Note that participants in other events may need parking too. Please arrive early if you are driving to account for finding parking.

Street parking is available but spaces are hard to find and the time limit is two hours maximum.

Please share a ride or take public transportation. Here is an area map that shows BART and AC Transit bus lines: http://www.actransit.org/pdf/maps/version_41/city_map.pdf

Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART): Trains operate from Fremont, Richmond, Bay Point/Concord and San Francisco/Daly City and include service to San Francisco International Airport and Oakland Airport. The Berkeley BART station is 1.5 blocks west of the Berkeley campus and about 1.5 miles/2.4 km (~35 minute walk) from the Clark Kerr Campus.

AC Transit bus service provides transportation for commuters to and from San Francisco and throughout Alameda and Western Contra Costa County. Several AC bus lines that come near the campus area such as lines 79 (stop closest to Clark Kerr) and 36, 51B, 80, and 851.

It might be beneficial to team up with others and share the cost. You can organize sharing a ride on Discord.
