PGI’s Michael Wolfe on Heterogeneous Programming

In this video, Michael Wolfe from The Portland Group discusses heterogeneous programming for HPC.

Topics:

• What’s the distinction between heterogeneous computing and heterogeneous programming?
• Why is heterogeneous programming hard?
• What’s the right level of abstraction for heterogeneous programming?
• What are the existing methods for heterogeneous programming? Do they really solve this problem?
• What heterogeneous systems are likely to survive in HPC?

Wolfe recently became a guest contributor on insideHPC and we’re looking forward to more discussions in the coming months.
