Proceedings of the Heterogeneous Computing Workshop (8th) Held in San Juan, Puerto Rico on 12 April 1999
Abstract
This grant funded the proceedings of the 8th Heterogeneous Computing Workshop (HCW 99), which was held on April 12, 1999. HCW '99 was part of the merged symposium of the 13th international Parallel Processing Symposium and the 10th Symposium on Parallel and Distributed Processing (IPPS/SPDP 1999), which was sponsored by the IEEE Computer Society Technical Committee on Parallel Processing and held in cooperation with ACM SIGARCH. Heterogeneous computing systems range from diverse elements within a single computer to coordinated, geographically distributed machines with different architectures. A heterogeneous computing system provides a variety of capabilities that can be orchestrated to execute multiple tasks with varied computational requirements. Applications in these environments achieve performance by exploiting the affinity of different tasks to different computational platforms or paradigms, while considering the overhead of inter-task communication and the coordination of distinct data sources and/or administrative domains. Topics representative of those in the proceedings include: (1) network profiling, (2) configuration tools, (3) scheduling tools, (4) analytic benchmarking, (5) programming paradigms, (6) problem mapping, (7) processor assignment and scheduling, (8) fault tolerance, (9) programming tools, (10) processor selection criteria, and (11) compiler assistance.
