Heterogeneous-compute Interface for Portability

Okay kiddo, have you ever played with different types of toys that have different shapes and sizes? Maybe a big block that wouldn't fit in a small container or a small block that could fit in a big container? Well, that's kind of what the heterogeneous-compute interface for portability is all about.

You see, computers have different parts that do different things, just like how toys have different shapes and sizes. And sometimes, these parts can't talk to each other easily because they're not the same. Just like how a big block won't fit in a small container.

But the heterogeneous-compute interface for portability helps these parts talk to each other even if they're not the same. It's like having a special container that can hold different types of blocks, whether they're big or small.

This makes it easier for software developers to create programs that can run on different types of computers without having to rewrite them every time. It's like being able to play with your toys no matter where you are because they can all fit in the same container.

So, the heterogeneous-compute interface for portability is like a special container that can hold different types of computer parts and makes it easier for programs to work on different types of computers. Does that make sense, kiddo?
