Memory as a Concept in Heterogeneous Systems

Memory is something that C++ programmers know very well and think they have control over. But how much is known about memory on the GPU?

Suddenly, many familiar concepts from the C++ world break down, and creating single-source abstraction layers (such as SYCL) requires introducing a lot of CPU-weird concepts and terms. And all this affects performance. In the talk, Konstantin will take a look at memory as it is understood in C++ and as it is understood for graphics and show a lot of examples on SYCL.
