Tiles: a new language mechanism for heterogeneous parallelism

Published: 24 January 2015 Publication History

Abstract

This paper studies the essence of heterogeneity from the perspective of language mechanism design. The proposed mechanism, called tiles, is a program construct that bridges two relative levels of computation: an outer level of source data in larger, slower or more distributed memory and an inner level of data blocks in smaller, faster or more localized memory.
