'''oneAPI''' is an [[open standard]], adopted by Intel,{{sfn|Fortenberry|Tomov|2022|p=22}} for a unified [[application programming interface]] (API) intended to be used across different computing [[Hardware acceleration|accelerator]] ([[coprocessor]]) architectures, including [[GPU]]s, [[AI accelerator]]s and [[field-programmable gate array]]s. It is intended to eliminate the need for developers to maintain separate code bases, multiple programming languages, tools, and workflows for each architecture.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.hpcwire.com/2019/12/09/intel-expands-its-silicon-portfolio-and-oneapi-software-initiative-for-next-generation-hpc/|title=Intel Expands its Silicon Portfolio, and oneAPI Software Initiative for Next-Generation HPC|date=2019-12-09|website=HPCwire|language=en-US|access-date=2020-02-11}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.hpcwire.com/2019/11/17/intel-debuts-new-gpu-ponte-vecchio-and-outlines-aspirations-for-oneapi/|title=Intel Debuts New GPU – Ponte Vecchio – and Outlines Aspirations for oneAPI|date=2019-11-18|website=HPCwire|language=en-US|access-date=2020-02-11}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.extremetech.com/computing/302284-sc19-intel-unveils-new-gpu-stack-oneapi-development-effort|title=SC19: Intel Unveils New GPU Stack, oneAPI Development Effort - ExtremeTech|website=www.extremetech.com|access-date=2020-02-11}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.servethehome.com/intel-one-api-to-rule-them-all-is-much-needed/|title=Intel One API to Rule Them All Is Much Needed to Expand TAM|last=Kennedy|first=Patrick|date=2018-12-24|website=ServeTheHome|language=en-US|access-date=2020-02-11}}</ref>
== The oneAPI Specification ==▼
oneAPI competes with other GPU computing stacks: [[CUDA]] by [[Nvidia]] and [[ROCm]] by [[AMD]].
The oneAPI specification extends existing developer programming models to enable multiple hardware architectures through a data-parallel language, a set of library APIs, and a low-level hardware interface to support cross-architecture programming. It builds upon industry standards and provides an open, cross-platform developer stack.<ref name="spec">{{cite web |url=https://www.oneapi.io/spec/ |title=oneAPI Specification |last= |first= |date= |website=oneAPI |archive-url= |archive-date= |access-date=}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|date=2021-03-23|title=Preparing for the Arrival of Intel's Discrete High-Performance GPUs|url=https://www.hpcwire.com/2021/03/23/preparing-for-the-arrival-of-intels-discrete-high-performance-gpus/|access-date=2021-03-29|website=HPCwire|language=en-US}}</ref>

== Unified Acceleration Foundation (UXL) and the future for oneAPI{{anchor|UXL}} ==
Unified Acceleration Foundation (UXL) is a new technology consortium that are working on the continuation of the OneAPI initiative, with the goal to create a new open standard accelerator software ecosystem, related open standards and specification projects through Working Groups and Special Interest Groups (SIGs). The goal will compete with Nvidia's CUDA. The main companies behind it are Intel, Google, ARM, Qualcomm, Samsung, Imagination, and VMware.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Exclusive: Behind the plot to break Nvidia's grip on AI by targeting software |website=[[Reuters]] |url=https://www.reuters.com/technology/behind-plot-break-nvidias-grip-ai-by-targeting-software-2024-03-25/ |access-date=2024-04-05}}</ref>
