Adaptive load balancing of iterative computation on heterogeneous nondedicated systems |
Abstract | ||
|---|---|---|
Dynamic load balancing in heterogeneous systems is a fundamental research topic in parallel computing due to the high availability
of such systems. The efficient utilization of the heterogeneous resources can significantly enhance the performance of the
parallel system. At the same time, adapting parallel codes to state-of-the-art parallel computers composed of heterogeneous
multinode–multicore processors becomes a very hard task because parallel codes are highly dependent on the parallel architectures.
That means that applications must be tailored requiring a great deal of programming effort. We have developed the ALBIC (Adaptive
Load Balancing of Iterative Computation) system that allows for the dynamic load balancing of iterative codes in heterogeneous
dedicated and nondedicated Linux based systems. In order to validate the system several parallel codes have been analyzed
in different scenarios. The results show that the ALBIC approach achieves better performance than the other proposal. This
lightweighted library eases porting homogeneous parallel codes to heterogeneous platforms, since the code intrusion is low
and the programming effort is quite reduced. |
