Method and system for analyzing an extent of speedup achievable for an application in a heterogeneous system

摘要

The present disclosure includes, in a heterogeneous system, receiving a desired speedup of an application as input and performing a static analysis and a dynamic analysis of the application. The dynamic analysis of the application comprises, identifying a set of parameters including, an end-to-end execution time of the application, an execution time of data parallel loops in the application, an execution time of non-data parallel loops in the application, and an amount of physical memory used by each data structure in each data parallel loop. Dynamic analysis also includes calculating and providing the feasibility of achieving the desired speedup of the application based on the identified set of parameters, and satisfaction of each of, an initialization invariant, a data-parallel invariant and a data transfer invariant.
