Abstract
We are seeing a number of new platforms incorporating multi-core CPUs, many-core GPUs, and a range of additional devices into a single System-On-Chip and discrete device solutions. These platforms are showing up in a wide range of environments spanning supercomputers to our full-function smartphones. As the range of applications continues to grow, we will need to design more flexible software abstractions and improved system architectures to fully exploit the benefits of these heterogeneous platforms. In this talk, we will look at how current programming models and hardware architectures need to change in order to provide for both ease of programming and scalable power/performance.
