Lightweight Task Analysis for Cache-Aware Scheduling on Heterogeneous Clusters

Abstract:We present a novel characterization of how a program stresses cache. This characterization permits fast performance prediction in order to simulate and assist task scheduling on heterogeneous clusters. It is based on the estimation of stack distance probability distributions. The analysis requires the observation of a very small subset of memory accesses, and yields a reasonable to very accurate prediction in constant time.
