Forward Progress on GPU Concurrency (Invited Talk)

pdf-format:
LIPIcs-CONCUR-2017-1.pdf (0.5 MB)

Abstract

The tutorial at CONCUR will provide a practical overview of work undertaken over the last six years in the Multicore Programming Group at Imperial College London, and with collaborators internationally, related to understanding and reasoning about concurrency in software designed for acceleration on GPUs. In this article we provide an overview of this work, which includes contributions to data race analysis, compiler testing, memory model understanding and formalisation, and most recently efforts to enable portable GPU implementations of algorithms that require forward progress guarantees.
