Survey of CPU/GPU Synergetic Parallel Computing

With the features of tremendous capability,high performance/price ratio and low power,the heterogeneous hybrid CPU/GPU parallel systems have become the new high performance computing platforms.However,the architecture complexity of the hybrid system poses many challenges on the parallel algorithms design on the infrastructure.According to the scale of computational resources involved in the synergetic parallel computing,we classified the recent researches into three categories,detailed the motivations,methodologies and applications of several projects,and discussed some on-going research issues in this direction in the end.We hope the domain experts can gain useful information about synergetic parallel computing from this work.
