 An Evolutionary Path for High Performance Heterogeneous Multicore Programming

Homogeneous multicore processors from Intel or AMD have become mainstream. However heterogeneous architectures such as multicore with GPUs or any hardware specialized accelerators have a better performance/power ratio. When high performance and power efficiency have to be achieved, specialized hardware is often the way to go. Unfortunately, programming such heterogeneous architectures is a headache for any application developer. The embedded market has been mixing different hardware cores for decades and living with this headache at a very high programming cost.
