Osmania University College of Engineering organizing A Two Day National Symposium on Heterogeneous Computing: Platforms, Tools and Applications on August 31 st and September 1st, 2012.
Heterogeneous Computing is emerging as one of the hottest areas in the fields of both Electronics and Computer Science. Gone are the days where technology scaling allowed performance and programmability. The traditional way of programmability and serial execution has almost reached its limits. The new trend is not only programmability but also parallelism to meet the growing demands of high performance computing applications in audio, video, gaming, control systems, network computing applications, and network security (encryption/decryption). A heterogeneous computing system uses variety of processors- CPU, DSP/GPU or co-processor (ASIC) or FPGA. The current heterogeneous architectures offer price/performance and performance/energy tradeoffs for different applications. They are beginning to show up in servers and even in supercomputers.
High level programming abstractions or open APIs are developed by industry consortiums so that programmers do not have to worry too much about the underlying hardware details for taking advantage of heterogeneous processors resources. Opportunities exist for both industry and academia to collaborate on the open API standards and projects.
The objective of the symposium is to understand latest trends in heterogeneous computing, and hardware platforms available from different vendors, and get familiar with industry standard APIs (OpenCL, Aparapi, and C++ AMP) for software developers that will enable them to take advantage of the hardware acceleration by programming at high level languages - C, C++, and Java. Tutorials on OpenCL, Aparapi and C++ AMP are covered in this symposium so that participants familiar with the any of the above high level language can start as quickly as possible on his/her project.
