Held in Conjunction With 34th IEEE International Parallel & Distributed Processing Symposium
May 17-21, 2021
Virtual
Overview
The 26th HIPS workshop, to be held as a full-day meeting at the IPDPS 2021 conference in Portland and as virtual workshop, focuses on high-level programming of multiprocessors, compute clusters, and massively parallel machines. Like previous workshops in this series — established in 1996 — this event serves as a forum for research in the areas of parallel applications, language design, compilers, runtime systems, and programming tools. It provides a timely forum for scientists and engineers to present the latest ideas and findings in these rapidly changing fields. In our call for papers, we especially invite papers demonstrating innovative approaches in the areas of emerging programming models for large-scale parallel systems and many-core architectures. An additional emphasis this year will be on heterogeneous compute capabilities and deep memories to encourage new developments in programming models for high performance systems.

Topics of interest to the HIPS workshop include but are not limited to:
- High-level and domain-specific programming systems

Program (Date: May 17th, 2021, Pacific Time is used)
- 07:00 - 07:05 Welcome Julian, Bin
- 07:05 - 08:00 Keynote: oneAPI and Data Parallel C++
-
Speaker: Dr. Kinsner, Michael from Intel
Abstract: Silicon trends continue to motivate increasing specialization of compute architectures, enabling performance on classes of workload that map efficiently to a device. The increasing variety of architectures, coupled with the mixing of architectures in heterogeneous systems, leads to significant challenges for developers forced to program using a variety of disjoint languages and tooling. oneAPI and Data Parallel C++ are open solutions that strive to unify programming models, languages, and workflows across heterogeneous architectures and systems, while still providing access to the performance of each architecture.
This talk will overview the goals and approach of oneAPI, and will dive into Data Parallel C++, a direct programming solution based on modern C++ and the SYCL standard from The Khronos Group. The talk will cover some aspects and lessons learned relative to portability, and challenges encountered when mapping the single program multiple data (SPMD) programming model to hardware which isn’t a perfect fit for the abstraction.
Bio: Mike Kinsner is a Principal Engineer at Intel Corporation developing languages and parallel programming models for a variety of compute architectures. He is one of the architects of Data Parallel C++. He started his career at Altera, working on high level synthesis for field programmable gate arrays, and still contributes to spatial programming models and compilers. Mike is an Intel representative within The Khronos Group standards organization, where he works on the SYCL and OpenCL open industry standards for parallel programming. Mike holds a Ph.D. in Computer Engineering from McMaster University, and recently co-authored the industry’s first book on SYCL and Data Parallel C++.
