Load Balancing for Consumer-Producer and Concurrent Workloads

摘要

In accordance with some embodiments, a system may detect whether or not a workload currently being worked on by two processors is serialized or concurrent. A workload is serialized or a producer consumer workload when the workload is such that one processor must receive the output from the other processor before it can begin. A workload is concurrent if both processors can work on the workload at the same time. In one embodiment, the nature of memory accesses can be used to determine the workload type. For example, when both processors use a shared virtual memory, the memory accesses can be tracked to detect whether serialized or concurrent workloads are involved.
