<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace:none"><span style="font-family:Times">Three
essential pillars to successful parallel computing - Productivity, Portability,
Performance. Creating software for heterogeneous systems can be quite complex
especially when the low-level details need to be managed and abstracted from
the programmer. Emerging standards are providing an incremental development to
target heterogeneous architectures, be it NVIDIA, ARM, Intel or AMD. We all
know software is an expensive investment. Portability is necessary, ensuring
long lifetime of the software and thus reducing the maintenance cost. Other
challenges include locality and memory issues, load balancing, hiding latency
with concurrency and so on. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-autospace:none"><span style="font-family:Times">This
workshop aims to brainstorm ways to make programming heterogeneous systems
less challenging and more interesting. We believe that this workshop will
provide a forum for the presentation and discussions of research on all aspects
of heterogeneous systems programming models, compiler optimizations, language
extensions, and software tools for such systems.</span></p>
