SUMMARY:LiquidMetal: a unified programming language and runtime for hetero
 geneous platforms - Christophe Dubach\, University of Edinburgh
DTSTART:20110609T103000Z

CONTACT:Robert Mullins
DESCRIPTION:In this talk I will give an overview of the LiquidMetal projec
 t at IBM (www.research.ibm.com/liquidmetal/) and present some preliminary 
 results for the GPU backend which I developed in collaboration with IBM.\n
 \nLiquidMetal aims to address the difficulties that programmers face today
  when developing applications for computers that feature programmable acce
 lerators (GPUs and FPGAs) alongside conventional multi-core processors. It
  offers a single unified programming language called Lime and a runtime th
 at allows (all) portions of an application to move fluidly between hardwar
 e and software\, dynamically and adaptively.
