Architectural Support for Irregular Programs and Performance Monitoring for Heterogeneous Systems

Abstract: Since the advent of heterogeneous computing a large number of applications have been ported to utilize heterogeneous systems. Data parallel applications have mapped their computation to the large numbers of cores in heterogeneous systems and reported large performance improvements. However, the programming APIs targeting heterogeneous systems require explicit data movement and thread management by [...]

Paper: Accelerating Java on Embedded GPU

In a recent masters thesis, Iype P. Joseph of the University of Ottawa looked at Accelerating Java on Embedded GPU. His experiments were conducted on a Freescale i.MX6Q SabreLite board which encompasses a quad-core ARM Cortex A9 CPU and a Vivante GC 2000 GPU that supports the OpenCL 1.1 Embedded Profile. They successfully accelerated Java code [...]
