HETEROGENEOUS SYSTEM ARCHITECTURE - WEN-MEI W H...

Heterogeneous Systems Architecture - a new compute platform infrastructure presents a
next-generation hardware platform  and associated software  that allows processors of different
types to work efficiently and cooperatively in shared memory from a single source program. HSA
also defines a virtual ISA for parallel routines or kernels  which is vendor and ISA
independent thus enabling single source programs to execute across any HSA compliant
heterogeneous processer from those used in smartphones to supercomputers. The book begins with
an overview of the evolution of heterogeneous parallel processing  associated problems  and how
they are overcome with HSA. Later chapters provide a deeper perspective on topics such as the
runtime  memory model  queuing  context switching  the architected queuing language  simulators
and tool chains. Finally  three real world examples are presented  which provide an early
demonstration of how HSA can deliver significantly higher performance thru C++ based
applications. Contributing authors are HSA Foundation members who are experts from both
academia and industry. Some of these distinguished authors are listed here in alphabetical
order: Yeh-Ching Chung  Benedict R. Gaster  Juan Gómez-Luna  Derek Hower  Lee Howes  Shih-Hao
HungThomas B. Jablin  David Kaeli Phil Rogers  Ben Sander  I-Jui (Ray) Sung.
