Abstract
A compile environment is provided in a computer system that allows programmers to program both CPUs and data parallel devices (e.g., GPUs) using a high level general purpose programming language that has data parallel (DP) extensions. A compilation process translates modular DP code written in the general purpose language into DP device source code in a high level DP device programming language using a set of binding descriptors for the DP device source code. A binder generates a single, self-contained DP device source code unit from the set of binding descriptors. A DP device compiler generates a DP device executable for execution on one or more data parallel devices from the DP device source code unit.
