oneDTL Specification
====================

The oneAPI Data Transformation Library (oneDTL) is an extensive
library of ready-to-use, data compression functions that are highly optimized for diverse architectures.
As a part of oneAPI, oneDTL is designed to allow execution on a wide variety of computational devices: CPUs, GPUs, and other accelerators.

#. Take advantage of vectorization and SIMD (single instruction, multiple data) instructions on CPU and GPU.
#. Take advantage of CPU threading and GPU SIMT (single instruction, multiple threads).
#. Improve the performance of computation-intensive applications with pipelines involving data compression and other operations provided as DPC++ kernel or oneAPI libraries.
