The future is dynamic: adaptive runtime resource management for heterogeneous computer platforms

ABSTRACT

Software developers increasingly need to take advantage of heterogeneous hardware resources, like GPUs and DSPs, while coping with dynamic events and quality of service requirements. Our poster shows how an adaptive runtime resource manager explores resource assignment strategies to solve this problem. A real-world video processing application demonstrates the approach.
