As the use of computers proliferates, the complexity and variety of systems continues to grow. As a result, it is becoming increasingly inflexible to “hard wire” behaviours into software. Software developers can enable more control over their software[...]

Adapting code initially written in a “neutral” algorithmic style to be executed in heterogeneous architectures (featuring e.g. GPGPUs, FPGAs), and later maintaining it, is a difficult and error-prone task.  It requires knowledge about the programming model of the[...]

The increased processing capability of mobile and embedded platforms is enabling more and more ambitious machine vision applications.  Industry players are actively pushing embedded vision in the entertainment, automotive and robotics domains. Mobile vision couples high computational requirements with[...]

This half-day workshop will focus on current developments in the area of auto-tuning, with a focus not only on performance but also on energy efficiency. A variety of projects dealing with auto-tuning – ranging from[...]

General purpose as well as integrated processors nowadays have to run programs written in a wide variety of languages with isolation concerns. Dynamic compilation, i.e. generate binary code at run-time, is becoming a viable solution[...]

Long employed by industry, large scale use of binary translation and on-the-fly code generation and optimization is becoming pervasive both as an enabler for virtualization, processor migration and also as processor implementation technology. The emergence[...]
