Code What Don’t You Know about Heterogeneous System Architecture? 
I’ve always been one to ask a lot of questions. My role as an industry analyst gives me unending opportunities to put speakers at industry conferences on the spot; if you go to any of these events, you’ve probably seen me rushing toward the microphone at the start of the Q and A period. When AMD asked me if I would be interested in posing a series of questions about HSA to their technology gurus, I jumped at the opportunity. The results of my exchanges with these HSA architects have just been posted at Developer.AMD.com in a white paper titled “Everything You Always Wanted to Know about HSA (But Were Afraid To Ask).” If the only thing you know about HSA is that it’s a three letter acronym, this paper will get you up to speed in a hurry. It can also be helpful if you’ve heard about HSA, but are unsure whether it’s a good fit for your applications. I’ve presented the information in an easily digestible manner, broken down into 24 questions, and no answer takes more than three paragraphs.
