Abstract

Heterogeneity continues to increase at all levels of computing, with the rise of accelerators such as GPUs, FPGAs, and other coprocessors into everything from desktops to supercomputers. As a consequence, efficiently managing such disparate resources has become increasingly complex. CoreTSAR seeks to reduce this complexity by adaptively worksharing parallel-loop regions across computer resources without requiring any transformation of the code within the loop. Our results show performance improvements of up to three-fold over a current state-of-the-art heterogeneous task scheduler as well as linear performance scaling from a single GPU to four GPUs for many codes. In addition, CoreTSAR demonstrates a robust ability to adapt to both a variety of workloads and underlying system configurations
