Abstract
A computer implemented method entails identifying code regions in an application from which offloadable tasks can be generated by a compiler for heterogenous computing system with processor and accelerator memory, including adding relaxed semantics to a directive based language in the heterogenous computing for allowing a suggesting rather than specifying a parallel code region as an offloadable candidate, and identifying one or more offloadable tasks in a neighborhood of code region marked by the directive.
