High-level parallel programming in a heterogeneous world

High-Level Data Parallel Programming in PROMOTER

Implementing realistic scientific applications on parallel platforms requires a high–level, problem–adequate and flexible programming environment. The hybrid system PROMOTER pursues a two–level approach allowing easy and flexible programming at both language and library levels. The core concept of PROMOTER’s language model is its highly abstract and unified concept of data and communication str...

High Level Programming for Heterogeneous Architectures

This work presents an effort to bridge the gap between abstract high level programming and OpenCL by extending an existing high level Java programming framework (APARAPI), based on OpenCL, so that it can be used to program FPGAs at a high level of abstraction and increased ease of programmability. We run several real world algorithms to assess the performance of the framework on both a low end ...

CGiS: high-level data-parallel GPU programming

In the last few years, PC technology underwent a paradigm shift. The current trend leads aways from raising sequential performance to enhancing the available parallelism. The rapid performance increase of Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) is a part of this trend. However, it is difficult to harness the computational potential because for the longest time GPUs could be directed only through graph...
