Patent
Hower, H., Hill, M., Wood, D., Gaster, B., Hechtman, B., & Beckmann, B. (2014). Method for memory consistency among heterogeneous computer components. US 20140337587 A1

A method, computer program product, and system is described that determines the correctness of using memory operations in a computing device with heterogeneous computer components. Embodiments include an optimizer based on the characteristics of a Se... Read More about Method for memory consistency among heterogeneous computer components.

Heterogeneous-race-free memory models (2014)
Conference Proceeding
Hower, D. R., Hechtman, B. A., Beckmann, B. M., Gaster, B. R., Hill, M. D., Reinhardt, S. K., & Wood, D. A. (2014). Heterogeneous-race-free memory models. In Proceedings of the 19th international conference on Architectural support for programming languages and operating systems - ASPLOS '14. , (427-440). https://doi.org/10.1145/2541940.2541981

Commodity heterogeneous systems (e.g., integrated CPUs and GPUs), now support a unified, shared memory address space for all components. Because the latency of global communication in a heterogeneous system can be prohibitively high, heterogeneous sy... Read More about Heterogeneous-race-free memory models.
