Abstract

Embodiments of the present invention provide a novel solution to generate multiple linked device code portions within a final executable file. Embodiments of the present invention are operable to extract device code from their respective host object filesets and then link them together to form multiple linked device code portions. Also, using the identification process described by embodiments of the present invention, device code embedded within host objects may also be uniquely identified and linked in accordance with the protocols of conventional programming languages. Furthermore, these multiple linked device code portions may be then converted into distinct executable forms of code that may be encapsulated within a single executable file.
