Intelligent Scheduling of Coprocessor Execution

摘要

Execution of multiple execution streams is scheduled on a plurality of coprocessors. A software layer located logically between applications and the coprocessors determines dependencies within the execution streams, each said dependency being a condition in one of the execution streams that must be satisfied in order for execution of at least one other of the execution streams to proceed on corresponding ones of the coprocessors. The dependencies are then represented in a data structure and an optimized execution schedule is determined for the execution streams according to the dependencies. Simultaneous execution of a plurality of the execution streams is then dynamically reordered according to the optimized execution schedule.
