About the "-sycl" suffix, SYCL is the name of the "language" (more like
extensions to C/C++) used by the DPC++ compiler (you can think of SYCL
as being similar to CUDA). I used "-sycl" in the name of the binary
packages to distinguish from the GCC versions of the libs in the
archive, and in the oneDNN docs they refer to SYCL frequently, so it
seemed like the most natural choice for the source package naming as
well. oneDNN is also part of https://github.com/uxlfoundation which
emphasizes cross-platform acceleration support, so putting "intel" in
the name of the package seems a bit counter to that mission. Some of the
other packages (intel-umf, intel-dpcpp), on the other hand, are more
specific to Intel.
