Method and system for asymmetrical processing with managed data affinity

摘要

Methods, systems and computer readable storage mediums for more efficient and flexible scheduling of tasks on an asymmetric processing system having at least one host processor and one or more slave processors, are disclosed. An example embodiment includes, determining a data access requirement of a task, comparing the data access requirement to respective local memories of the one or more slave processors selecting a slave processor from the one or more slave processors based upon the comparing, and running the task on the selected slave processor.

1. A method of processing in an asymmetrical processing system having at least one host processor and one or more slave processors, the method comprising:
determining data access requirements of a task and a location of instructions associated with the task in memory; comparing the data access requirement of the task and the location of instructions associated with task to information about respective local memories of the one or more slave processors; selecting a slave processor from one or more slave processors based upon comparing the data access requirement of the task and the location of instructions associated with task to information about respective local memories of the one or more slave processors; and running the task on the selected slave processor.
