There are several articles and papers about TornadoVM, some of which are behind paywalls. If you prefer, you can start with the simple hello world example. You can see the use of the inside for loops and some basic task management. There are some easier examples, such as this one that uses an FPGA.
There’ are also quite a few examples, such as a computer vision application. If you want to try your hand at accelerated Java, there are some docker containers to get you started fast. The system can utilize multi-core CPUs, GPUs (NVIDIA and AMD), Intel integrated GPUs, and Intel FPGAs. The idea behind TornadoVM is to modify OpenJDK and GraalVM to support running some Java code on parallel architectures supported by OpenCL. Now your computer probably has plenty of processors hiding in its GPU and if you have an FPGA, you have everything you need to make something custom.
There was a time when running a program on an array of processors meant that you worked in some high-powered lab somewhere.
