We understand a platform as a hardware/software environment used to produce and execute application programs. We also outline programming issues encountered by scientific programmers when they write applications for heterogeneous platforms. 1 High-Performance Heterogeneous Computing, by Alexey L.

HETEROGENEOUS PLATFORMS: TAXONOMY, TYPICAL USES, AND PROGRAMMING ISSUES
In this part, we outline the existing platforms used for high - performance het-erogeneous computing and the typical ways these platforms are used by their end users . We understand a platform as a hardware/software environment used to produce and execute application programs. We also outline programming issues encountered by scientifi c programmers when they write applications for heterogeneous platforms.
