Seamlessly portable applications: Managing the diversity of modern heterogeneous systems

Seamlessly portable applications: Managing the diversity of modern heterogeneous systems

| 12 April, 2012 | 0 Comments

In this work, we propose a technique to effectively decouple applications from their accelerator-specific parts, respectively code. These parts are only linked on demand and thereby an application can be made portable across systems with different accelerators.
