About the Authors

Benedict R. Gaster is a software architect working on programming models for next-generation heterogeneous processors, particularly examining high-level abstractions for parallel programming on the emerging class of processors that contain both CPUs and accelerators such as GPUs. He has contributed extensively to the OpenCL’s design and has represented AMD at the Khronos Group open standard consortium. He has a Ph.D. in computer science for his work on type systems for extensible records and variants.

Lee Howes has spent the past 3 1/2 years working at AMD on a range of topics related to GPU computing and graphics programming. Lee currently focuses on programming models for the future of heterogeneous computing. His interests ...
