+SYCL is an open standard from the Khronos Group and defines a programming model that lets
+developers support a wide variety of devices (CPUs, GPUs, and more) from a single code base.
+Given the growing heterogeneity of processor roadmaps in both HPC and AI, moving to an open standard,
+platform-independent model such as SYCL is essential for modern software developers. SYCL
+has the further advantage of supporting a single-source style of programming using completely
+standard C++. In this tutorial, we will introduce SYCL and provide programmers with a solid
+foundation they can build on to gain mastery of this language. The main benefit of using SYCL
+over other heterogeneous programming models is the single programming language approach, which
+enables one to target multiple devices using the same programming model, and therefore to have a
+cleaner, portable, and more readable code. This is a hands-on tutorial. The real learning will
+happen as students write code. The format will be short presentations followed by hands-on exercises. 
+Hence, attendees will require their own laptop to perform the hands-on exercises.
