Abstract

We present and analyze the requirements of our problem and design a Software Framework (SF) that addresses all of them. We start the chapter by defining terminology and describing our hardware architecture model. We then inventorize the requirements that the SF must address. This is followed by a discussion of the chosen Model of Computation and the overall resource management strategy, including the choice of local schedulers and task synchronization techniques. From this, we identify the main software components of the solution and present an overview of the complete SF, including the compilation chain and the runtime support. We then give a quick overview of components such as the programming language and code generator, which will not be discussed in further detail in this book. We compare our proposal with related work and close the chapter by stating our conclusions.
