Innovation thrives in an #OpenEcosystem that is accessible to all. Intel has agreed to acquire Codeplay Software, a leader in cross-architecture open standards-based developer technologies, to advance the #oneAPI vision and commitment to openness. intel.ly/3wYpROp
Codeplay is working with @argonne_lcf and @ORNL to bring SYCL development to Frontier, an exascale supercomputer scheduled for delivery in 2021 consisting of AMD GPUs. This work will enable researchers to pursue the latest scientific discoveries. codeplay.com/portal/press-re…

I'm hiring someone to help support and educate developers using SYCL for HPC and AI programming. SYCL offers a non-proprietary alternative to CUDA and is gaining lots of attention, including being used with exascale supercomputers. We are remote friendly codeplay.com/company/careers…

Today we are celebrating #InternationalWomensDay and the great women who work at Codeplay. Last year we were lucky to have Verena from the team talk about her thoughts on being a woman in tech, and at Codeplay, in this blog post codeplay.com/portal/news/202…

Talking about #DeniedMyVote, many broadcasters keep saying that EU citizens in the UK have a choice of voting 'in the UK where they live and work' or 'at home', by which they mean the country of their birth. Let me just spell it one more time for you: THIS. IS. OUR. HOME. 🏡

Gatekeeping. If you type code and the computer runs it. You are a programmer. You just programmed. End of story. Next!
If coding doesn't feel like painting or passionate creative writing, you have at least another level to master before calling yourself a programmer.

At Codeplay we like to thank our Engineers for all the amazing work they do for us. This year it was split between Go Karting, Escape Rooms & Paintballing. Can you guess who any of the Engineers are in this picture?

I walked down a street where the houses were numbered 64K, 128K, 256K, 512K and 1MB. It was a trip down memory lane.

Cigarette smoke is magic. It will defy the laws of physics and ALWAYS blow into the face of a non smoker.
