Intel, an American multinational corporation and technology company, agreed to acquire Codeplay Software, a company in acceleration technologies for AI. Financial terms were not disclosed. This acquisition bolsters both companies’ commitment to open collaboration and standards – particularly driving the adoption of SYCL and the oneAPI ecosystem. Intel and Codeplay have worked together to define and extend open standard programming models that work across multiple platforms and devices. Codeplay is highly active on Khronos standards committees and has been a long-time proponent of the SYCL standard. In fact, Codeplay developers currently chair the Khronos SYCL Working Group and some ISO C++ standards, act as the OpenCL Spec editor, and significantly contribute to numerous other standards.
