Using SYCL as an Implementation Framework for HPX.Compute
Marcin Copik, Hartmut Kaiser · 2017
The recent advancements in High Performance Computing and ongoing research to reach Exascale has been heavily supported by introducing dedicated massively parallel accelerators. Programmers wishing to maximize utilization of current supercomputers are required to develop software which not only involves scaling across multiple nodes but are capable of offloading data-parallel computation to dedicated hardware such as graphic processors. Introduction of new types of hardware has been followed by developing new languages, extensions, compilers and libraries. Unfortunately, none of those solutions seem to be fully portable and independent from specific vendor and type of hardware.
