Characterizing compute kernel execution behavior on GPUs for efficient task scheduling is a non-trivial task. We address this with a simple model enabling portable and fast predictions among different GPUs using only hardware-independent features. This model is built based on random forests using 189 individual compute kernels from benchmarks such as Parboil, Rodinia, Polybench-GPU, and SHOC. Evaluation of the model performance using cross-validation yields a median Mean Average Percentage Error (MAPE) of 8.86–52.0% for time and 1.84–2.94% for power prediction across five different GPUs, while latency for a single prediction varies between 15 and 108 ms.
Characterizing compute kernel execution behavior on GPUs for efficient task scheduling is a non trivial task. We address this with a simple model enabling portable and fast predictions among different GPUs using only hardware-independent features extracted. This model is built based on random forests using 189 individual compute kernels from benchmarks such as Parboil, Rodinia, Polybench-GPU and SHOC. Evaluation of the model performance using cross-validation yields a median Mean Average Percentage Error (MAPE) of [13.45%, 44.56%] and [1.81%, 2.91%], for time respectively power prediction on five different GPUs, while latency for a single prediction varies between 0.1 and 0.2 seconds.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
