I attended the first half of the mini-symposium. I liked the concept of the session, to see how the vendors would optimize the [cloudsc](https://github.com/ecmwf-ifs/dwarf-p-cloudsc) mini-app. It ended up being sort of like this: Nvidia (OpenACC, CUDA), AMD (OpenMP, HIP), Intel (OpenMP, SYCL).

The last presentation advocated a different approach, based on a data-centric programming model, supported by a Python framework called [DaCe](https://github.com/spcl/dace). This was the related to a previous thread: [Fortran is dead – Long live Fortran!](https://fortran-lang.discourse.group/t/fortran-is-dead-long-live-fortran/7654/1)

You can find some of the opening slides here:
