.. _DpctlIntroduction:

Python package :py:mod:`dpctl` enables Python users to engage multiple
compute devices commonly available in modern consumer- and server-grade
computers using industry-standard :sycl_execution_model:`SYCL execution model <>`
facilitated by :sycl_spec_2020:`SYCL 2020 standard <>`-compliant
Intel(R) oneAPI :dpcpp_compiler:`DPC++ compiler <>`.

:py:mod:`dpctl` provides a reference data-parallel implementation of
array library :py:mod:`dpctl.tensor` conforming to Python Array API specification.
The implementation adheres to a programming model affording clear control
over the compute device where array computations and memory allocations
take place.
