SCHEDULING AND EXECUTION OF COMPUTE TASKS

摘要

One embodiment of the present invention sets forth a technique for assigning a compute task to a first processor included in a plurality of processors. The technique involves analyzing each compute task in a plurality of compute tasks to identify one or more compute tasks that are eligible for assignment to the first processor, where each compute task is listed in a first table and is associated with a priority value and an allocation order that indicates relative time at which the compute task was added to the first table. The technique further involves selecting a first task compute from the identified one or more compute tasks based on at least one of the priority value and the allocation order, and assigning the first compute task to the first processor for execution.
