2. Use CPU threading and GPU SIMT (single instruction, multiple threads).

3. Improve the performance of computation-intensive applications with pipelines
27+
involving image processing and other operations provided as DPC++ kernel or
28+
oneAPI libraries.

In addition to domain-specific functionality, the Image SIG may also discuss
31+
overall design features like the execution model, memory model, or error
32+
handling. At times, the open source oneIPL Interfaces project, which implements
33+
the oneIPL specification may also be discussed.

Purpose of the Group
36+
====================
37+
38+
The Image Special Interest Group (Image SIG) is committed to the collaborative
39+
development, understanding, and promotion of the open standard oneIPL. We aim
40+
to build a comprehensive image-processing library to set a new standard for
41+
image processing in the oneAPI ecosystem.
42+
43+
1. Collaborate: Gather key industry stakeholders to contribute to the oneIPL
44+
standard. Engineers and software developers from across the industry will
45+
share insights, knowledge, and resources to collaboratively shape the future
46+
of the oneIPL specification.

2. Use CPU threading and GPU SIMT (single instruction, multiple
23-
threads).
48+
2. Innovate: Encourage innovative thinking and problem-solving to advance the
49+
future of image processing within the oneAPI ecosystem.

3. Improve the performance of computation-intensive applications with
26-
pipelines involving image processing and other operations provided
27-
as DPC++ kernel or oneAPI libraries.
51+
3. Educate: Share experiences and best practices related to oneIPL with the
52+
wider oneAPI community.

In addition to domain-specific functionality, the Image SIG may also
30-
discuss overall design features like the execution model, memory
31-
model, or error handling. At times, the open source oneIPL Interfaces
32-
project, which implements the oneIPL specification, may also be
33-
discussed.

Strategy for Achieving Goals
55+
============================
56+
57+
To achieve these goals, the following strategic approach will be taken:
58+
59+
1. Community Building: Foster a vibrant and active community of engineers and
60+
software developers who meet regularly to discuss, debate, and determine the
61+
direction of oneIPL. This will be achieved through online events and a clear
62+
communication channel for group members.
63+
64+
2. Open Collaboration: Promote an open-source mindset to enable active
65+
contributions from all members. The group will focus on collaboration,
66+
maintaining a transparent process where all members have access to resources
67+
and are encouraged to provide input on development.
68+
69+
3. Training and Education: Organize training sessions, workshops, and webinars
70+
to educate members and the broader oneAPI ecosystem about the features,
71+
advantages, and potential of the oneIPL library. This will also be an
72+
opportunity to gather feedback and requirements from end users.
73+
74+
4. Regular Updates and Reviews: Schedule periodic meetings for group members to
75+
share their experiences, progress, and challenges with the oneIPL
76+
library. These sessions will act as a platform for knowledge sharing,
77+
brainstorming solutions, and shaping the roadmap for the future of the
78+
oneIPL specification.
79+
80+
5. Integration with the oneAPI Ecosystem: Work closely with the broader oneAPI
81+
community to ensure the oneIPL library seamlessly integrates with the other
82+
elements of the oneAPI ecosystem. This will help ensure the standard is
83+
accessible, beneficial, and valuable to the community.
84+
85+
Through this purpose and strategic approach, the Image Special Interest Group
86+
will shape the future of image processing via the oneIPL image processing
87+
library in alignment with the broader goals of the oneAPI ecosystem. We believe
88+
in the power of collaborative innovation to drive the future of image
89+
processing and look forward to contributing to this journey.
