abstract = {SkePU is a pattern-based high-level programming model for
transparent program execution on heterogeneous parallel
computing systems. A key feature of SkePU is that, in
general, the selection of the execution platform for a
skeleton-based function call need not be determined
statically. On single-node systems, SkePU can select among
CPU, multithreaded CPU, single or multi-GPU execution. Many
scientific applications use pseudo-random number generators
(PRNGs) as part of the computation. In the interest of
correctness and debugging, deterministic parallel execution
is a desirable property, which however requires a
deterministically parallelized pseudo-random number
generator. We present the API and implementation of a
deterministic, portable parallel PRNG extension to SkePU
that is scalable by design and exhibits the same behavior
regardless where and with how many resources it is executed.
We evaluate it with four probabilistic applications and show
that the PRNG enables scalability on both multi-core CPU and
GPU resources, and hence supports the universal portability
of SkePU code even in the presence of PRNG calls, while
source code complexity is reduced.},
