Intel OneAPI is a recent API (2020) for loop parallelization similar as CUDA but since CUDA only work for NVIDIA products, Intel OneAPI is for Intel products (work for Intel CPU/GPU).

Since Intel Arc GPU will come real soon, it's a need to port the actual mining software with OneAPI asap.

That's one of the reason why I decided to understand how to make one but using OneAPI, but I hope that actual miner programmers think about implementing OneAPI in their code since the learning of mining algo programming is a linux difficulty grade Grin

Actually OneAPI use OpenCL specification.
