This is the software project to demonstrate heterogenous computing. This project is accompanying the presentation "Introduction into Shared Memory Programming on Heterogeneous Systems" from the parallel 2018 conference.

The demo contains two executables. The first is a basic data generator that mimicks a sensor that regularly emits measurements. The second executable is a data processing and visualization tool that displays multiple line charts.

The sensor executable takes up to two positional command line arguments:

1. number of sensors to mimick
2. emittance timing in microseconds

Example output for 4 sensors and approximately one measurement each 2000 microseconds (2 milliseconds):

$ ./sensor 4 2000 49;96.5644;101.006;99.7248;89.3221 2301;97.3029;100.952;99.6132;90.5318 4451;98.0413;100.899;99.5016;91.7415 6601;98.7798;100.846;99.39;92.9512 8703;99.5183;100.793;99.2784;94.1609 10796;100.257;100.74;99.1668;95.3706 12898;100.995;100.687;99.0552;96.5803 15038;101.734;100.634;98.9436;97.79 17180;102.472;100.581;98.832;98.9997 19328;103.211;100.527;98.7204;100.209 21487;103.949;100.474;98.6088;101.419

Example command line:

$ ./sensor 4 20 | ./unifiedmemory
