and artificial intelligence (AI). We believe, however, that physics-based simulations are still at the core of 12 scientific and technological advances, thus deserving innovative research effort that can deliver the full 13 potential of heterogeneous computing and also benefit other research domains.Hardware heterogeneity has historically received most of the attention. GPUs, based on a different 15 architectural design principle than conventional CPUs, have helped to postpone the end of Moore's law.Lately, the demand for more computing power and higher energy efficiency has led to a renaissance of more 17 exotic hardware architectures, as observed in Hennessy and Patterson [2019]; Leiserson et al. [2020]. Many
