Lapedo: Hybrid Skeletons for Programming Heterogeneous Multicore Machines in Erlang

<p>We describe Lapedo, a novel library of hybrid parallel skeletons for programming heterogeneous multi-core/many-core CPU/GPU sys- tems in Erlang. Lapedo&rsquo;s hybrid skeletons comprise a mixture of CPU and GPU components, allowing skeletons to be flexibly and dynamically mapped to available resources. We also describe a model for deriving near-optimal division of work between CPUs and GPUs, ensuring load balancing between resources. Finally, we evaluate the effectiveness of Lapedo on three realistic use cases from different domains, demonstrat- ing significant speedups compared to executing the same application on only CPU cores or a GPU&nbsp;</p>
