Intel® announces oneAPI Blogathon contest winners

Two months back, Intel®, along with MachineHack, launched the first-of-its-kind oneAPI Blogathon Contest. The blogathon successfully concluded on June 15, 2022, witnessing over 150+ participants, out of which eight winners were selected. 

In this blogathon contest, Intel® encouraged participants to create meaningful content, with the utmost brevity, on given topics, including oneAPI, migrating from CUDA* to oneAPI Data-Parallel C++ (DPC++), Intel® AI Analytics Toolkit, etc. 

The blogathon provided a great opportunity for participants to showcase their skills and expertise on Intel® oneAPI tools, alongside advancing their knowledge about Intel® oneAPI products and services. 

The top-three winners won Apple iPad mini 64 GB, and the remaining five runners up, who won Amazon gift vouchers worth INR 5000/- each. In addition, these winners are officially eligible to become new contributors to the Intel® community. 

Congratulations to Intel® oneAPI Blogathon winners.

Check out all of the Intel® oneAPI blog posts here. 

TOP 3 WINNERS:

1. Tamal Acharya 

Tamal Acharya is an AI/ML enthusiast and a part-time researcher in AI, AGI, and quantum computing, especially QML and QNN. 

He wrote multiple blog posts during the Blogathon contest. This includes a Hands-on Guide to Intel® oneAPI HPC Toolkit, Hands-On Guide to Intel® AI Analytics Toolkit, Intel® Distribution of OpenVINO™ toolkit — — Optimised Deep Learning, and Field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) and its use in deep learning inferences.
