Hence, the trend is clearly going towards heterogeneous architectures. However, in order to fully exploit the advantages of such heterogeneous hardware, there is a need for appropriate programming models that do not increase the complexity of the applications.=0AIn the DEEP project, we have extended the OmpSs programming model to offload MPI kernels dynamically by utilizing MPI's spawning feature, here namely provided by ParaStation MPI as the underlying infrastructure.=0AThat way, offloading to specialized hardware gets dramatically simplified while hiding the low-level and error prone MPI spawn calls.=0AThese facts together with its portability make this concept definitely interesting for a broader audience of the HPC community.
