Environment Adaptive Software, Automatic Offloading, Performance, Evolutionary Computation, Function BlockAbstract
When using heterogeneous hardware other than CPUs, barriers of technical skills such as OpenCL are high. Based on that, I have proposed environment adaptive software that enables automatic conversion, configuration, and high-performance operation of once written code, according to the hardware to be placed. Partly of the offloading to the GPU was automated previously. In this paper, I propose a method for offloading a function block, which is a larger unit, instead of individual loop statements in an application, to achieve higher speed by automatic offloading to GPU and FPGA. I implement the proposed method and evaluate with existing applications offloading to GPU.
