If you look around you will find that all computer systems, from
your portable devices to the strongest supercomputers, are
heterogeneous in nature. The most obvious heterogeneity is the
existence of computing nodes of different capabilities (e.g.
multicore, GPUs, FPGAs, ...). But there are also other
heterogeneity factors that exist in computing systems, like the
memory system components, interconnection, etc. The main reason for
these different types of heterogeneity is to have good performance
with power efficiency. Heterogeneous computing results in both
challenges and opportunities. This book discusses both. It shows
that we need to deal with these challenges at all levels of the
computing stack: from algorithms all the way to process technology.
We discuss the topic of heterogeneous computing from different
angles: hardware challenges, current hardware state-of-the-art,
software issues, how to make the best use of the current
heterogeneous systems, and what lies ahead. The aim of this book is
to introduce the big picture of heterogeneous computing. Whether
you are a hardware designer or a software developer, you need to
know how the pieces of the puzzle fit together. The main goal is to
bring researchers and engineers to the forefront of the research
frontier in the new era that started a few years ago and is
expected to continue for decades. We believe that academics,
researchers, practitioners, and students will benefit from this
book and will be prepared to tackle the big wave of heterogeneous
computing that is here to stay.
