The HCW, held in conjunction with the International Symposium on Parallel and Distributed Processing (IPDPS), awarded the Best Paper prize to Thomas Morin, Nathalie Furmento, Abdou Guermouche, Samuel Thibault, and Pierre-André Wacrenier for their paper titled “Greedy Adaptive Task Splitting with Prediction and Placement for Heterogeneous Systems.”
HCW is open to both the scientific community and the business world. It showcases innovative ideas on the theoretical and practical aspects of computer science in heterogeneous environments.
Thomas’s paper addresses the issue of dynamic task scheduling on heterogeneous architectures, with a particular focus on adaptive task partitioning to improve load balancing and execution performance.
The article proposes a greedy approach that incorporates data prediction and placement mechanisms, and demonstrates that it enables more efficient utilization of resources in modern heterogeneous systems.
