Survey on Performance Analysis, Optimization, and Applications of Heterogeneous Fusion Processors

With the development of heterogeneous computing technology, heterogeneous fusion processors, such as CPU-GPU integrated processors, have been fully developed in recent years, and arouse attention from both academia and industry. The fusion of different devices has several advantages. For example, all devices share the same memory and can have fine-grained cooperation. However, many system programming challenges and optimization challenges have emerged. To take full advantage of the capacity of heterogeneous fusion processors, we need to utilize features of heterogeneous fusion processors such as shared memory, and perform architecture optimizations to different devices according to different applications. We first analyze and summarize the research work related to heterogeneous fusion processors. Second, we introduce the related work about performance analysis. Third, we summarize the optimizations on heterogeneous fusion processors. We also provide a summarization for the applications that utilize heterogeneous fusion processors. At last, we provide the future directions on heterogeneous fusion processors and give conclusion.
