This book provides an introduction to both heterogeneous execution and managed runtime environments (MREs) by discussing the current trends in computing and the evolution of both hardware and software. To this end, it first details how heterogeneous hardware differs from traditional CPUs, what their key components are and what challenges they pose to heterogenous execution. The most ubiquitous ones are General Purpose Graphics Processing Units (GPGPUs) which are pervasive across a plethora of application domains ranging from graphics processing to training of AI and Machine Learning models. Subsequently, current solutions on programming heterogeneous MREs are described, highlighting for each current existing solution the associated advantages and disadvantages. This book is written for scientists and advanced developers who want to understand how choices at the programming API level can affect performance and/or programmability of heterogeneous hardware accelerators, how toimprove the underlying runtime systems in order to seamlessly integrate diverse hardware resources, or how to exploit acceleration techniques from their preferred programming languages.

Unlike other resources that target only programming communities, this book targets both programming and business communities. With programming models shifting more towards no-code and low-code, citizen programmers from the business side will welcome this book as a guide for how to design and optimize their information pipeline while lowering costs for infrastructure. Programmers, on the other hand, will welcome this book's business-centric programming view, which will get them a step closer to fulfilling real business requirements.Practical Spring Cloud Function touches on the themes of portability, scalability, high performance and high availability. Each theme is explored via a real enterprise use case and code. The use cases target industries including energy (oil pipeline sensors), automotive (event-driven connected vehicles), and retail (conversational AI).After reading this book, you'll come away with the know-how to build and deploy cloud-native Javaapplications effectively and efficiently.
