ADAPTIVE SCHEDULING FOR TASK ASSIGNMENT AMONG HETEROGENEOUS PROCESSOR CORES

An example system for adaptive scheduling of task assignment among heterogeneous processor cores may include any number of CPUs, a graphics processing unit (GPU) and memory configured to store a pool of work items to be shared by the CPUs and GPU. The system may also include a GPU proxy profiling module associated with one of the CPU s to profile execution of a first portion of the work items on the GPU. The system may further include profiling modules, each associated with one of the CPUs, to profile execution of a second portion of the work items on each of the CPUs. The measured profiling information from the CPU profiling modules and the GPU proxy profiling module is used to calculate a distribution ratio for execution of a remaining portion of the work items between the CPUs and the GPU.
