DAPHNE 2015 - International Workshop on Data (Co-)Processing on Heterogeneous Hardware (DAPHNE)

Data (Co-)Processing on Heterogeneous Hardware (DAPHNE)

The goal of this workshop is to investigate challenges and opportunities for data processing on existing and upcoming heterogeneous hardware architectures. Increased heterogeneity is one of the major current challenges in data processing on modern hardware. With multi-core CPUs, graphics cards, massively parallel accelerator cards (e.g. Intel Xeon Phi), heterogeneous mobile processors (e.g. ARM big.LITTLE) and FPGAs, we already face a huge variety of available processing devices with different capabilities, strengths and weaknesses. This trend is expected to accelerate in the near future, and tomorrow’s database systems will need to exploit and embrace this increased heterogeneity in order to keep up with the performance requirements of the modern information society.
