oneIPL Specification
====================

The oneAPI Image Processing Library (oneIPL) is an extensive library
of ready-to-use, highly optimized image processing functions. As part
of oneAPI, oneIPL is designed to allow execution on a wide variety of
computational devices: CPUs, GPUs, and other accelerators.  The
functionality is subdivided into several domains: filers, geometry
transformations, color and type conversions. Its royalty-free APIs
help developers:

#. 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 image 
   processing and other operations provided as DPC++ kernel or oneAPI libraries.
