The past year has brought the introduction of several directive-based GPU and co-processor compilers, more progress within the OpenMP accelerator sub-committee, and continued development of GPU language extensions by large industry players and academics. This BoF will provide an overview of the status of various implementations, and explore and debate the merits of the current options and approaches for high-level heterogeneous manycore programming.
