Dynamic load-balancing on multi-FPGA systems: a case study
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this case study, we investigate the impact of workload balance on the performance of multi-FPGA codes. We start with an application in which two distinct kernels run in parallel on two SRC-6 MAP processors. We observe that one of the MAP processors is idle 18% of the time while the other processor is fully utilized. We investigate a task redistribution schema which serializes the execution of the two kernels, yet parallelizes execution of each individual kernel by spreading the workload between two MAP processors. This implementation results in a near 100% utilization of both MAP processors and the overall application performance is improved by 9%.

متن کاملAnalysis of Dynamic Load Balancing Strategies for Parallel Shared Nothing Database Systems
Parallel database systems have to support both inter-transaction as well as intra-transaction parallelism. Inter-transaction parallelism (multi-user mode) is required to achieve high throughput, in particular for OLTP transactions, and sufficient cost-effectiveness. Intra-transaction parallelism is a prerequisite for reducing the response time of complex and data-intensive transactions (queries...
