openCL vs SYCL

Thank you for posting in the Intel Communities. Since your question is related to FPGA we are moving this topic to the Intel® High Level Design community.

Basically yes. The OpenCL and C/C++ HLS paths of Intel's tools are not under active development anymore and all development is being pushed towards the SYCL C++ path. Though the OpenCL and HLS paths are still supported, but they might be deprecated at some point in the future.

External message (forums etc.,):

• Yes, Intel PSG is transitioning to an open standard - oneAPI with DPC++, built upon on SYCL. This will enable developers and hardware designers to use a common programming model to target FPGAs at any level – whether full stack or IP development for Quartus.
• The current Intel FPGA programming language compilers (Intel® FPGA SDK for OpenCL™ and Intel® High Level Synthesis Compiler) will continue to be supported during the transition,

Thanks a lot.

Hi @student1,

Good to know we have clarified your doubts, with no further clarification on this thread, we would now close this thread from our end.
Thanks for your questions and as always pleasure having you here.
