Stencil computation is one of the most important kernels in various scientific and
engineering applications. A variety of work has focused on vectorization and tiling …

Stencil computations are very common in scientific codes. Heterogeneous systems achieve
good results solving these problems, but their programming is complex because of the ghost …

First of all, I thank my supervisor Sergei Gorlatch for giving me the freedom to pursue my
research interest. I'm especially thankful for my research visit at the University of Edinburgh …

Partial Differential Equation (PDE) modelling is an important tool in scientific domains for
bridging theory with reality; however, they can be complex to program and even more …

For over a decade, we have seen a plateauing of CPU clock rates, primarily due to power
and thermal constraints. To counter these problems, processor architects have turned to …

The usage of heterogeneous devices as co-processors in high performance computing
(HPC) environments has steadily grown during the last years due to their excellent …
