Description

Intel's new compiler technology is called oneAPI. The new technology still supports the old compiler, but includes two parallel processing compilers, icx/icpx and dpcpp, based on clang. This bodes well for Intel customers as their previous compiler, although good, was not of the quality of clang. Boost Build should probably try to support these two compilers somewhere down the road.
