Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A method and an apparatus that schedule a plurality of executables in a schedule queue for execution in one or more physical compute devices such as CPUs or GPUs concurrently are described. One or more executables are compiled online from a source having an existing executable for a type of physical compute devices different from the one or more physical compute devices. Dependency relations among elements corresponding to scheduled executables are determined to select an executable to be executed by a plurality of threads concurrently in more than one of the physical compute devices. A thread initialized for executing an executable in a GPU of the physical compute devices are initialized for execution in another CPU of the physical compute devices if the GPU is busy with graphics processing threads.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A computer implemented method comprising: loading, by a host process executing on a first processing unit, in response to a second API (application program interface) request received from an application during runtime of the application on the first processing unit, one or more executables for a data processing task of the application that are compatible with a second processing unit identified by a compute device identifier specified by the application in…
