Project Snapshot
At RISC-V Europe 2025 we presented a poster showing how Embecosm used the oneAPI Construction Kit to explore accelerating PyTorch using RISC-V cores, trying over a thousand in emulation and some on an FPGA. The oneAPI ecosystem supplies unified language and libraries to express parallelism and is based on open standards such as C++ and Khronos SYCL. This case study shows how the oneAPI Construction Kit lets you put this ecosystem on new hardware.
