Mapple: A Domain-Specific Language for Mapping Distributed Heterogeneous Parallel Programs

Kavli Affiliate: Ke Wang | First 5 Authors: Anjiang Wei, Anjiang Wei, , , | Summary: Optimizing parallel programs for distributed heterogeneous systems remains a complex task, often requiring significant code modifications. Task-based programming systems improve modularity by separating performance decisions from core application logic, but their mapping interfaces are often too low-level. In this […]
