DESCRIPTION;ENCODING=QUOTED-PRINTABLE:ABSTRACT: Heterogeneity is increasing at all levels of computing, with the rise of=0Aaccelerators such as GPUs, FPGAs, and other co-processors into everything from=0Adesktops to supercomputers.  More quietly it is increasing with the rise of NUMA=0Asystems, hierarchical caching, OS noise, and a myriad of other factors.  As=0Aheterogeneity becomes a fact of life at every level of computing, efficiently=0Amanaging heterogeneous compute resources is becoming a critical task;=0Acorrespondingly however it increases complexity.  Our work seeks to improve the=0Aprogrammability of heterogeneous systems by providing runtime systems, and=0Aproposed programming model extensions, which increase performance portability=0Aand performance consistency while retaining a familiar programming model for the=0Auser.  The results so far are an extension to MPICH2 which automatically=0Aincreases the performance consistency of MPI applications in unbalanced systems=0Aand a runtime scheduler which automatically distributes the iterations of=0AAccelerated OpenMP parallel regions across CPU and GPU resources.
