8th Workshop on General Purpose Processing Using GPUs
The final program is available HERE
The goal of this workshop is to provide a forum to discuss new and emerging general-purpose purpose programming environments and platforms, as well as evaluate applications that have been able to harness the horsepower provided by these platforms. This year's work is particularly interested on new heterogeneous GPU platforms, new forms of concurrency, and novel/irregular applications that can leverage these platforms. Papers are being sought on many aspects of GPUs, including (but not limited to):
Dark secrets of heterogeneous memory models
Lee Howes, Qualcomm
Abstract:
As GPU programming has become more advanced, heterogeneous systems more common and programming approaches more flexible, developers have wanted more control over memory in the system. In recent specifications, OpenCL 2.0 and the first HSA documentation that has been released, we see a stronger focus on memory consistency. Not all is as clear cut as it seems and there is still work to do. In this talk we'll look at what has changed recently, where some of the gaps are and what we might like to do to improve the situation.
Biography:
Lee Howes works on GPU architecture and programming models at Qualcomm. He represents Qualcomm at both Khronos, for OpenCL and the memory model, execution model and intermediate language working groups, as well as to the HSA Foundation on the runtime and intermediate language specifications. Lee previously worked at AMD in the HSA organization and before that on physics simulation on heterogeneous platforms. He has a PhD in software performance optimization from Imperial College London.
