Embodiment Construction

[0007]According to an embodiment, a method and system for executing an asynchronous task on a heterogeneous computing platform are provided. An asynchronous task configured to execute on a grid is initialized. An initially unknown result that becomes available during execution is encapsulated. The asynchronous task is executed on the grid. The result is assigned to the asynchronous task when the result becomes available during execution.

[0008]According to another embodiment, system for managing memory is provided. A heterogeneous parallel primitives (HPP) platform generates an unbound distributed in a plurality of memories of different types. Once generated, the distributed array is bound to a kernel that executes a workgroup on a processor in a heterogeneous computing platform. During execution, the bound distributed array is accessed by the workgroup.

[0009]Further embodiments, features, and advantages of the present invention, as well as the structure and operation of the various ...

Abstract

With the success of programming models such as OpenCL and CUDA, heterogeneous computing platforms are becoming mainstream. However, these heterogeneous systems are low-level, not composable, and their behavior is often implementation defined even for standardized programming models. In contrast, the method and system embodiments for the heterogeneous parallel primitives (HPP) programming model disclosed herein provide a flexible and composable programming platform that guarantees behavior even in the case of developing high-performance code.

Description

RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application is related to the U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 61 / 652,772, filed on May 29, 2012, which is incorporated by reference herein in its entirety.BACKGROUND[0002]1. Field of the Invention[0003]The present invention relates generally to a programming model for a heterogeneous processor system.[0004]2. Background Art[0005]With the success of programming models such as OpenCL and CUDA, heterogeneous computing platforms are becoming mainstream. However, these heterogeneous systems are low-level, not composable, and their behavior is often implementation defined even for standardized programming models.[0006]Thus what is needed are system and method for a heterogeneous parallel primitives (HPP) programming model that provides a flexible and composable programming platform that guarantees behavior even in the case of developing high-performance code.SUMMARY OF EMBODIMENTS[0007]According to an embodiment, a method and system for executing an ...
