The Twenty Sixth International Heterogeneity in Computing Workshop (HCW) and to the Fifteenth InternationalWorkshop on Algorithms, Models and Tools for Parallel Computing on Heterogeneous Platforms (HeteroPar)

摘要

Heterogeneity is emerging as one of themost profound and challenging characteristics of today's parallel environments.Asmostmodern computingsystems are heterogeneous, from themacro level, where networks of distributed computers, composed of diverse node architectures, are interconnectedwith potentially heterogeneous networks, to the micro level, where deeper memory hierarchies and various accelerator architectures areincreasingly common, the impact of heterogeneity on all computing tasks is increasing rapidly.Traditional parallel algorithms, programming environments, and tools, designed for legacy homogeneous multiprocessors, will at best achieve asmall fraction of the efficiency and the potential performance that we should expect from parallel computing in tomorrow's highly diversified andmixed environments. New ideas, innovative algorithms, and specialized programming environments and tools are needed to efficiently use thesenew and multifarious parallel architectures.
