triSYCL_ is an open source implementation to experiment with
the specification of the OpenCL_ SYCL_ 1.2.1 and 2.2 `C++`_ layer and
to give feedback to the Khronos_ OpenCL_ SYCL_ and OpenCL_ C++ 2.2

kernel language committees and also ISO `C++`_ committee.

This SYCL_ implementation is mainly based on C++17 and OpenMP_
with execution on the CPU right now, but some parts of the non
single-source OpenCL_ interoperability layer are implemented and the
device compiler development is on-going for SPIR_ and SPIR-V_. Since in
SYCL_ there is a host fall-back, this CPU implementation can be
seen as an implementation of this fall-back too...
This SYCL_ implementation is mainly based on C++17 and OpenMP_ for

The parallel kernels can be executed in parallel on the CPU with OpenMP_ in
the first range dimension, if compiled with OpenMP_ support or on an
