This enables static parallelization of the fine-grained static concurrency in the work groups in multiple ways. +Portable Native Client (PNaCl) +------------------------------ + +`Portable Native Client (PNaCl) <http://www.chromium.org/nativeclient/pnacl>`_ +is a Chrome initiative to bring the performance and low-level control of native +code to modern web browsers, without sacrificing the security benefits and +portability of web applications. PNaCl works by compiling native C and C++ code +to an intermediate representation using the LLVM clang compiler. This +intermediate representation is a subset of LLVM bytecode that is wrapped into a +portable executable, which can be hosted on a web server like any other website +asset. When the site is accessed, Chrome fetches and translates the portable +executable into an architecture-specific machine code optimized directly for +the underlying device. PNaCl lets developers compile their code once to run on +any hardware platform and embed their PNaCl application in any website, +enabling developers to directly leverage the power of the underlying CPU and +GPU. + TTA-based Co-design Environment (TCE) ------------------------------------- |
