Abstract

Domain-specific languages offer a solution to the performance and the productivity issues in heterogeneous computing systems. The Delite compiler framework simplifies the process of building embedded parallel DSLs. DSL developers can implement domain-specific operations by extending the DSL framework, which provides static optimizations and code generation for heterogeneous hardware. The Delite runtime automatically schedules and executes DSL operations on heterogeneous hardware.
