Abstract
Parallelism has always been a challenging topic. Nowadays we observe a reborn of interest to parallel programming models to utilize modern hardware architectures. In this talk we introduce the concept of dynamic runtime as a key block for design of the framework and programming model for massively-parallel heterogeneous computing systems. From the perspective of using a runtime the following paradigms are covered: API design, runtime optimizations, targeting multiple hardware architectures. The concepts are explained using CLR/C# based examples.
