Abstract
This chapter shows how data flow applications can be programmed efficiently on GPUs from a unique high level capture. We will rely on a tooling approach (through the SPEAR Design Environment) to point out the underlying productivity gain with respect to performance. For efficient code generation purpose, several optimisations at different levels will be detailed. A representative Radar application will illustrate our results.
