Performance portability with SYCL — promise vs. practice

International Conference on High Performance Computing (ISC) · Workshop · Hamburg, DE

What we measured when porting stencil and matrix kernels across CPU, iGPU and discrete GPU using Intel oneAPI. Where SYCL delivers, where it doesn't, and how to reason about it.

Topics I can speak about.

// INVITE-READY
/ 01

SAP modernization & clean-core ABAP

Moving customer code toward the clean-core ideal without freezing feature delivery. Patterns, anti-patterns, decision trees.

/ 02

Heterogeneous computing with oneAPI / SYCL

Performance portability, DPC++ kernels, real benchmarks. For both newcomers to HPC and seasoned researchers.

/ 03

Mainframe co-existence

COBOL + Java on IBM Z, transaction coordination across CICS and Spring, and why the mainframe still matters in 2026.

/ 04

Enterprise Architecture that engineers actually use

LeanIX rollouts, application portfolio rationalization, capability maps that survive contact with reality.

/ 05

From student to consultant

Campus-friendly: ambassador-program experience, finding your first technical niche, navigating enterprise software.

/ 06

Academic peer review — demystified

A reviewer's perspective on submitting to systems and software-engineering journals. How to be reviewer-kind.
