New A21 SDK available on JLSE

New A21 SDK available in JLSE Hi all, We are pleased to announce that a new A21 SDK has been deployed in JLSE. This version 2020.03.15.001 includes multiple improvements and bug fixes. For additional details please refer to the latest release notes in the Wiki: https://wiki.jlse.anl.gov/display/inteldga/DGA+SDK+Release+Notes Modules will enable the newer SDK by default, but the older versions remain available for regression testing. As usual, please let us know of any issues you encounter and any improvements we can include. Important notes =============== VTune Profiler has changed the way that GPU reports are produced in the command line. gpu-hotspots and gpu-offload collections remain, but the report generation from command line has changed. To obtain a command line report for a GPU collection use the hotspots report with the -group-by=computing-task option: $ vtune --report hotspots -group-by=computing-task -r <results_dir> When using dynamic linking for threaded MKL calls, please include the tbb location in the link line. An old tbb.so library is being picked up by the linker from /lib64 and this is a workaround to avoid issues, so substitute your typical "-ltbb" in the MKL build by (prepending location to LD_LIBRARY_PATH will not work): $ -L$TBBROOT/lib/intel64/gcc4.8 -ltbb Last minute issues have been identified on the daal4py with GPU support install on JLSE. These are being worked on an update will follow when they are fixed. Please let us know of any issues with the release or the environment settings. Regards, Carlos

We want to use it in our build system to link to ${DPCPPROOT}/lib/libsycl-glibc.o and libsycl-cmath.o. Thanks, Weiqun
