This thesis describes the implementation of a source to source compiler that translates Fork language to REPLICA baseline language. The Fork language is a high-level programming language designed for the PRAM (Parallel Random Access Machine) model. The baseline language is a low-level parallel programming language for the REPLICA architecture which implements the PRAM computing model. To support the Fork language on REPLICA, a compiler that translates Fork to baseline is built.  The Fork to baseline compiler is built in compatibility with the Fork implementation for SB-PRAM. Moreover, the libraries that support Fork's features are built using baseline language.The evaluation result verifies that the features of the Fork language are supported in the implementation. The evaluation also shows the scalability of our implementation and shows that the overhead introduced by Fork-to-baseline translation is small.

Intel Larrabee is one of the first of fully programmable graphical architectures. Thesis describes this many-core architecture by hardware implementation and programmer's model point of view. Larrabee bets on many complete in-order cores, built over x86 instruction set. Cores contains four hardware threads, each with it's own register file, and new vector processing unit. Vector processing unit together with instruction set extension rapidly increases system performance. New cache modes helps to increase throughput even when irregular data structures. This architecture is not focused only on computer graphics nor image processing, but all parallel tasks. Second part of this text deals with hologram synthesis. Specifically, it brings two new methods for patch of point light sources generation with concrete radiation.
