Extending Paralldroid for the Automatic Generation of OpenCL Code

The evolution of many of today's ubiquitous technologies has been possible due to the System on Chip (SoC) technologies. This evolution has triggered an increase of the computing power of hand-held devices, that comes from heterogeneous architectures which are difficult to exploit from the programmer's perspective. Paralldroid tackles this problem by automating code generation for these architectures from a single high-level source code containing some specific annotations. We present an extension that allows Paralldroid to generate OpenCL code and run it transparently in order to take advantage of GPU offloading in hand-held devices.
