GPUs can enable significant performance improvements for certain classes of data parallel
applications and are widely used in recent computer systems. However, GPU execution …

The proliferation of heterogeneous hardware in recent years means that every system we
program is likely to include a mix of compute elements; each with different characteristics. By …

High-level languages such as Java increase both productivity and portability with productive
language features such as managed runtime, type safety, and precise exception semantics …

Real-time 3D space understanding is becoming prevalent across a wide range of
applications and hardware platforms. To meet the desired Quality of Service (QoS) …

Computer systems are increasingly featuring powerful parallel devices with the advent of
many-core CPUs and GPUs. This offers the opportunity to solve computationally-intensive …

GPUs (Graphics Processing Unit) and other accelerators are nowadays commonly found in
desktop machines, mobile devices and even data centres. While these highly parallel …

In daily life, the acquisition of digital video will introduce non-uniform exposure due to the set
of shooting equipment or scene illumination. Due to the low visibility, details are hidden and …

In this paper we describe Jacc, an experimental framework which allows developers to
program GPGPUs directly from Java. The goal of Jacc, is to allow developers to benefit from …

Recently there has been increasing interest in supporting execution of Java Virtual Machine
(JVM) applications on accelerator architectures, such as GPUs. Unfortunately, there is a …

Object-oriented programming is often regarded as too inefficient for high-performance
computing (HPC), despite the fact that many important HPC problems have an inherent …
