+
+
+== Dependencies
+
+This extension is written against the SYCL 2020 revision 10 specification.  All
+references below to the "core SYCL specification" or to section numbers in the
+SYCL specification refer to that revision.
+
+
+== Status
+
+This is an experimental extension specification, intended to provide early
+access to features and gather community feedback.  Interfaces defined in this
+specification are implemented in {dpcpp}, but they are not finalized and may
+change incompatibly in future versions of {dpcpp} without prior notice.
+*Shipping software products should not rely on APIs defined in this
+specification.*
+
+
+== Backend support status
+
+The APIs in this extension may be used only on a device that has
+`aspect::ext_oneapi_ipc_memory`.  The application must check that the device has
+this aspect before submitting a kernel using any of the APIs in this
+extension.  If the application fails to do this, the implementation throws
+a synchronous exception with the `errc::kernel_not_supported` error code
+when the kernel is submitted to the queue.
+
+
+== Overview
+
+This extension adds the ability for SYCL programs to share device USM memory
+allocations between processes. This is done by the allocating process creating
+a new `ipc_memory` object and transferring the "handle data" to the other
+processes. The other processes can use the handle data to recreate the
+`ipc_memory` object and get a pointer to the corresponding device USM memory.
+
+
+== Specification
+
+=== Feature test macro
+
+This extension provides a feature-test macro as described in the core SYCL
+specification.  An implementation supporting this extension must predefine the
+macro `SYCL_EXT_ONEAPI_IPC` to one of the values defined in the table
+below.  Applications can test for the existence of this macro to determine if
+the implementation supports this feature, or applications can test the macro's
+value to determine which of the extension's features the implementation
+supports.
+
+_And follow the text with a table like this *unless the extension is
+"experimental"*.  Note that your table may have more than one row if it
+has multiple versions._
+
+[%header,cols="1,5"]
+|===
+|Value
+|Description
+
+|1
+|The APIs of this experimental extension are not versioned, so the
+ feature-test macro always has this value.
+|===
+
+=== Inter-process communicable memory
+
+
+This extension adds the new `ipc_memory` class. This new class adheres to the
+common reference semantics described in
+https://registry.khronos.org/SYCL/specs/sycl-2020/html/sycl-2020.html#sec:reference-semantics[Section 4.5.2.]
+in the SYCL 2020 specification.

+`ipc_memory_handle_data` of returned by the `get_handle_data()` member function
+of another `ipc_memory` object.
+The `ipc_memory` object that the handle data originated from is allowed to be

+resulting objects are undefined.
