Isn’t MAGMA more like a canned set of linear algebra routines rather than a general interface for executing arbitrary code on GPUs? That’s pretty different.

Well at the end of the day they're both libraries for doing heterogeneous parallel compute (CPU + GPU w/ one API).

oneAPI might be more general but at the end of the day heterogeneous HPC converges on linear algebra. So it might have different ergonomics but it's very similar.
