As part of a seven-year program Horizon 2020 funding of advanced development in the European space company Samsung and a number of European companies have received a grant of $ 2.97 million Euro. In terms of the project with a budget of 80 billion euros -. It is ridiculous figure, but this development could have a significant impact on the market of mobile devices. The allocated amount will go to work on the project "Low-power GPU2 (LPGPU2)". In addition to Samsung, the project involves the company Codeplay,
Of course, GPU developers distribute information that helps programmers to optimize code to run on a particular platform. Currently, however, the general principles of the optimization is not enough. You can always find a way to increase the efficiency of the code, but to witness the optimization result is not always possible. The new package of tools for application analysis must be in a form convenient for programmers to show that you can expect from specific changes in the program.
Tool to determine the effectiveness of the code on the GPU , if possible, in the form of an open standardized API. At this stage, the consortium will start the study the consumption patterns for graphics processor, which must still be isolated from the whole platform. However, there are a sufficient number of independent GPU developers that all have to find common ground. After that, it will attempt to create a software model capable of accurately compare performance metrics of different architectures and bind it to the analysis of the necessary applications.
