“…This analysis is dependent on both the input and the available resources and thus, despite the additional efforts required to the programmers, will not always lead to optimal results. An approach which is not restricted to a single target type is SoSOC [22]: it consists of a library that presents a friendly interface to the programmer and allows functions to be dispatched to a set of targets based on either the developer's wishes or some statistics computed during early runs. This solution adds some dynamicity with respect to StarPU, but the developer not only has to learn (yet) another library, but also someone has to provide handcrafted code for any specialized unit of interest.…”

Reducing energy consumption is a challenge that is faced on a daily basis by teams from the High-Performance Computing as well as the Embedded domain. This issue is mostly attacked from an hardware perspective, by devising architectures that put energy efficiency as a primary target, often at the cost of processing power. Lately, computing platforms have become more and more heterogeneous, but the exploitation of these additional capabilities is so complex from the application developer's perspective that they are left unused most of the time, resulting therefore in a supplemental waste of energy rather than in faster processing times.In this paper we present a transparent, on-the-fly optimization scheme that allows a generic application to automatically exploit the available computing units to partition its computational load. We have called our approach Heterogeneous Platform Accelerator (HPA). The idea is to use profiling to automatically select a computing-intensive candidate for acceleration, and then distribute the computations to the different units by off-loading blocks of code to them.Using an NVIDIA Jetson TK1 board, we demonstrate that not only HPA results in faster processing speed, but also in a considerable reduction in the total energy absorbed.

Embedded systems are shaping a new world. There is no sector immune to their adoption and the effects in the long term are unpredictable and fascinating. Embedded systems are designed by embedded system engineers. What technical education and what kind of practical skills these new engineers will need? This is a complex and unanswered question. In this paper we describe our proposal to equip engineering students with knowledge and experience: REPTAR. REPTAR (Reconfigurable Embedded Platform for Training And Research) is a feature rich complex embedded system designed for giving the opportunity to tomorrow's engineers of having hands-on experience on modern technologies and learning by doing. As a side effect REPTAR revealed itself as an invaluable tool for rapid prototyping and research explorations.
