Abstract :
Significant performance gains have been reported by exploiting the specialized characteristics of hybrid computing architectures for a number of streaming applications. While it is straightforward to physically construct these hybrid systems, application development is often quite difficult. We have built an application development environment, Auto-Pipe, that targets streaming applications deployed on hybrid architectures. Here, we describe some of the current and future characteristics of the Auto-Pipe environment that facilitate an understanding of the performance of an application that is deployed on a hybrid system.
