Abstract: A computer-implemented method includes receiving a program code comprising a sequence of array instructions for at least one input array data structure storing multiple elements of a respective common data type, and function meta information, FMI. The FMI allow for determining an output size information of an output of each array instruction of the sequence of array instructions for an input size information of the at least one input array data structure. The method includes receiving hardware information of a processing unit, compiling, based on the first program segment, the runtime size information and the hardware information, a first compute kernel which is executable on the processing unit; and executing the first compute kernel on the processing unit using the runtime instance of the at least one input array data structure as input.

Abstract: A heterogeneous computing system and computer-implemented method are disclosed. In one example, the method includes initializing a first processing unit of a heterogeneous computing system with a first compute kernel and a second processing unit of the heterogeneous computing system with a second compute kernel. Both the first compute kernel and the second compute kernel are configured to perform a numerical operation derived from a program segment. In one example, the method includes one of executing the first compute kernel on the first processing unit to perform a numerical operation on the runtime instance if the first expected costs are lower than or equal to the second expected costs, and executing the second compute kernel on the second processing unit to perform a numerical operation on the runtime instance if the first expected costs are higher than the second expected costs.

Abstract: An audio reproduction system is divided into a central wave-field synthesis module and a plurality of loudspeaker modules disposed in a distributed way, wherein synthesis signals for the individual loudspeakers as well as corresponding channel information associated to the synthesis signals are calculated in the central wave-field synthesis module. The synthesis signals for a loudspeaker as well as associated channel information will then be transmitted to respective loudspeaker modules via a transmission path, wherein every loudspeaker module obtains the synthesis signals and associated channel information intended for the loudspeaker associated to the loudspeaker module. A distributed audio rendering and digital/analog converting takes place in the loudspeaker module to generate the actually analog loudspeaker signals in a distributed way in spatial proximity to every loudspeaker.
