Allocating Accelerators to Threads in a High Performance Computing System

摘要

A method of distributing threads among accelerators in a high performance computing system receives a request to assign an accelerator in the computing system to a thread. The request includes a mode indicative of location and exclusivity of the accelerator for use by the thread. The method selects the accelerator according to a processor assigned to the thread. The method also assigns the accelerator to the thread with the exclusivity specified in the request.
