Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A computer implemented method entails identifying code regions in an application from which offloadable tasks can be generated by a compiler for heterogenous computing system with processor and accelerator memory, including adding relaxed semantics to a directive based language in the heterogenous computing for allowing a suggesting rather than specifying a parallel code region as an offloadable candidate, and identifying one or more offloadable tasks in a neighborhood of code region marked by the directive.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A computer implemented method comprising: identifying code regions in an application from which one or more offloadable tasks can be generated by a compiler for a heterogenous computing system including a processor and an accelerator memory, comprising: adding, by the processor, relaxed semantics to a directive based language in the heterogenous computing system for allowing a user to suggest rather than specify a parallel code region as an offloadable task…
