The most recent being the move towards heterogeneity, where a system has one or more co-processors, often a GPU, working with it in parallel. These kinds of systems are everywhere, from desktop machines and high-performance computing supercomputers to mobile and embedded devices. Many-core GPU has shaped by the fast-growing video game industry that expects a tremendous massive number of floating-point calculations per video frame. The motive was to look for ways to maximize the chip area and power budget dedicated to floating-point calculations. The solution is to optimize for execution throughput of a massive number of threads. The design saves chip area and power by allowing pipelined memory channels and arithmetic operations to have long latency. The reduce area and power on memory and arithmetic allows designers to have more cores on a chip to increase the execution throughput. In CPPCON 2018, we presented "A Modern C++ Programming Model for CPUs using Khronos SYCL", which provided an introduction to GPU programming using SYCL. This talk will take this further. It will present the GPU architecture and the GPU programming model; covering the execution and memory model. It will describe parallel programming patterns and common parallel algorithms and how they map to the GPU programming model. Finally, through this lens, it will look at how to construct the control-flow of your programs and how to structure and move your data to achieve efficient utilisation of GPU architectures. This talk will use SYCL as a programming model for demonstrating the concepts being presented, however, the concepts can be applied to any other heterogeneous programming model such as OpenCL or CUDA. SYCL allows users to write standard C++ code which is then executed on a range of heterogeneous architectures including CPUs, GPUs, DSPs, FPGAs and other accelerators. On top of this SYCL also provides a high-level abstraction which allows users to describe their computations as a task graph with data dependencies, while the SYCL runtime performs data dependency analysis and scheduling. SYCL also supports a host device which will execute on the host CPU with the same execution and memory model guarantees as OpenCL for debugging purposes, and a fallback mechanism which allows an application to recover from failure. — Gordon Brown Codeplay Software Principal Software Engineer, SYCL & C++ Edinburgh, United Kingdom Gordon Brown is a principal software engineer at Codeplay Software specializing in heterogeneous programming models for C++. He has been involved in the standardization of the Khronos standard SYCL and the development of Codeplay's implementation of the standard from its inception. More recently he has been involved in the efforts within SG1/SG14 to standardize execution and to bring heterogeneous computing to C++. — Videos Filmed & Edited by Bash Films: http://www.BashFilms.com Work at Hudson River Trading (HRT): https://tinyurl.com/safxfctf
