NVIDIA NGC vs. NVIDIA HPC SDK vs. NetApp AIPod vs. oneAPI Comparison Chart

The NVIDIA HPC Software Development Kit (SDK) includes the proven compilers, libraries and software tools essential to maximizing developer productivity and the performance and portability of HPC applications. The NVIDIA HPC SDK C, C++, and Fortran compilers support GPU acceleration of HPC modeling and simulation applications with standard C++ and Fortran, OpenACC® directives, and CUDA®. GPU-accelerated math libraries maximize performance on common HPC algorithms, and optimized communications libraries enable standards-based multi-GPU and scalable systems programming. Performance profiling and debugging tools simplify porting and optimization of HPC applications, and containerization tools enable easy deployment on-premises or in the cloud. With support for NVIDIA GPUs and Arm, OpenPOWER, or x86-64 CPUs running Linux, the HPC SDK provides the tools you need to build NVIDIA GPU-accelerated HPC applications.

Intel oneAPI is an open, unified programming model designed to simplify development across CPUs, GPUs, and other accelerators. It provides developers with a highly productive software stack for AI, HPC, and accelerated computing workloads. oneAPI supports scalable hybrid parallelism, enabling performance portability across different hardware architectures. The platform includes optimized libraries, SYCL-based C++ extensions, and powerful developer tools for profiling, debugging, and optimization. Developers can build, optimize, and deploy applications with confidence across data centers, edge systems, and PCs. oneAPI is built on open standards to avoid vendor lock-in while maximizing performance. It empowers developers to write code once and run it efficiently everywhere.
