Resource-Aware Device Allocation Of Data-Parallel Applications On Heterogeneous Systems

As recent heterogeneous systems comprise multi-core CPUs and multiple GPUs, efficient allocation of multiple data-parallel applications has become a primary goal to achieve both maximum total performance and efficiency. However, the efficient orchestration of multiple applications is highly challenging because a detailed runtime status such as expected remaining time and available memory size of each computing device is hidden. To solve these problems, we propose a dynamic data-parallel application allocation framework called ADAMS. Evaluations show that our framework improves the average total execution device time by 1.85x over the round-robin policy in the non-shared-memory system with small data set.
