Using Constraints and Synthesis to Match Heterogeneous Hardware to Software - Computer Science Colloquium

Description

Moore's Law has been the main driver behind the extraordinary success of computer systems. However, with the technology roadmap showing a decline in transistor scaling and hence the demise of Moore's law, computer systems will be increasingly specialised and diverse. The consistent ISA contract is beginning to break down. As it stands, software will simply not fit. Current compiler technology, whose role is to map software to the underlying hardware is incapable of doing this. This looming crisis requires a fundamental rethink of how we design, program and use heterogeneous systems. This talk examines new ways of tackling heterogeneity using constraints and program synthesis.
