First implementation steps towards supporting the SYCL backend in the CUTLASS Python Interface.
The two main additions from this PR are:
nvcc
to compile device and host code.The support is not complete yet, i.e., it is not yet possible to launch a kernel. Notable missing components include data transfer handling via SYCL and kernel launch.
Compilation is currently only possible with development versions of DPC++, the
-fsycl-rtc-mode
flag that was added to support CUTLASS nested parameter classes in free-function kernels as part of this work is not yet available in releases.The activation of the SYCL backend via environment variable is a temporary solution, a follow-up will look into a cleaner solution.
