Heterogeneous systems are nowadays a common choice in the path to Exascale. Through the use of accelerators they offer outstanding energy efficiency. The programming of these devices employs the host-device model, which is suboptimal as CPU remains idle during kernel executions, but still consumes energy. Making the CPU contribute computing effort might improve the performance and energy consum...
