Abstract
This paper studies the essence of heterogeneity from the perspective of language mechanism design. The proposed mechanism, called tiles, is a program construct that bridges two relative levels of computation: an outer level of source data in larger, slower or more distributed memory and an inner level of data blocks in smaller, faster or more localized memory.

Tiles: a new language mechanism for heterogeneous parallelism
PPoPP 2015: Proceedings of the 20th ACM SIGPLAN Symposium on Principles and Practice of Parallel ProgrammingThis paper studies the essence of heterogeneity from the perspective of language mechanism design.

On-the-fly pipeline parallelism
SPAA '13: Proceedings of the twenty-fifth annual ACM symposium on Parallelism in algorithms and architecturesPipeline parallelism organizes a parallel program as a linear sequence of s stages. Each stage processes elements of a data stream, passing each processed data element to the next stage, and then taking on a new element before the subsequent stages have ...
A Loop Transformation Theory and an Algorithm to Maximize Parallelism
An approach to transformations for general loops in which dependence vectors represent precedence constraints on the iterations of a loop is presented. Therefore, dependences extracted from a loop nest must be lexicographically positive. This leads to a ...
