Abstract
The paper describes heterogeneous parallel processing as a feature of hardware devices. Software supports the configuration of the hardware components and a new kind of system-software supports the distribution of data and the scheduling of tasks. The concept is supported by referring to the relatively recent Open Systems specification, OpenCL. This is briefly described and its likely evolution surmised. For a new generation of system solutions this low cost, but vulnerable (to market forces) approach is attractive.
