Code Sample Browser for Intel Software Developer Tools

The Code Sample Browser extension for Visual Studio Code (VS Code) helps you discover and create projects that illustrate how to implement algorithms and applications with the oneAPI collection of compilers, libraries and tools. Samples are written in C/C++, Fortran and Python.

Use this extension to find samples that will help you:

  • Apply the DPC++ language extensions to your applications and enable the use of CPUs, GPUs, and FPGAs for accelerated application performance.
  • Learn how to use the Intel performance libraries to enable your applications with faster threading, matrix arithmetic, machine learning, and other tasks.

  • See the performance improvements possible with the Intel® Distribution for Python*, especially for numeric, scientific, and High-Performance Computing (HPC) applications.

  • Debug multi-threaded CPU and GPU applications using the Intel® Distribution for GDB* (gdb-oneapi).

  • Analyze performance bottlenecks in multi-threaded CPU, GPU, and FPGA applications using the Intel® VTune™ Profiler and Intel® Advisor analysis tools.

NOTE: as shown in the image below, you can use the + hover icon to create a new project based on the selected sample.

Where this Extension Works

This extension works on local and remote Linux*, Windows*, WSL* and macOS* development systems. You can browse samples and create projects even if you have not installed any Intel oneAPI development tools. Obviously, in order to build and run these sample projects you will need to install those Intel oneAPI tools that are required by the sample.

Every sample includes a README.md file with details regarding the tools and hardware needed to compile and run that sample application.

The samples presented by this samples browser are also available in the oneAPI-samples repo on GitHub.

We recommend that you also install these VS Code extensions:

Where to Find the Intel oneAPI Toolkits

This extension does not include any of the tools that are required to compile, run, and debug a sample. For information on the various oneAPI Toolkits visit:

For information on how to use VS Code with Intel oneAPI toolkits read Using Visual Studio Code* to Develop Intel® oneAPI Applications.
