Design and analysis of scheduling strategies for multi-CPU and multi-GPU architectures
Résumé
In this paper, we present a comparison of scheduling strategies for heterogeneous multi-CPU and multi-GPU architectures. We designed and evaluated four scheduling strategies on top of XKaapi runtime: work stealing, data-aware work stealing, locality-aware work stealing, and Heterogeneous Earliest-Finish-Time (HEFT). On a heterogeneous architecture with 12 CPUs and 8 GPUs, we analysed our scheduling strategies with four benchmarks: a BLAS-1 AXPY vector operation, a Jacobi 2D iterative computation, and two linear algebra algorithms Cholesky and LU. We conclude that the use of work stealing may be efficient if task annotations are given along with a data locality strategy. Furthermore, our experimental results suggests that HEFT scheduling performs better on applications with very regular computations and low data locality.
