The method further includes determining a plurality of application programming interface (API) calls based on the piece of work to be launched on the device and generating compiled code based on the plurality of API calls. The compiled code comprises a first portion operable to execute on a central processing unit (CPU) and a second portion operable to execute on the device (e.g., GPU).
