Nvidia patents method to pick best processor for code tasks
Nvidia describes a system that measures how efficiently different types of processors handle specific parts of a software program. It then uses these efficiency scores to decide which processor should run each task, ensuring the code is compiled to use the most suitable hardware.
In the filing’s own words
Apparatuses, systems, and techniques to calculate efficiency metrics associated with performing operations of a software program a first type of processor compared to a second type of processor. In at least one embodiment efficiency metrics associated with performing operations are used to determine whether the operation is to be executed by the first processor type or by the second processor type.
What exactly they claim (claim 1)
1. One or more processing units comprising: one or more circuits to: calculate one or more efficiency metrics to indicate relative efficiency of performing one or more operations of a software program by a first type of processor compared to performing of the software program by a second type of processor; and compile the software program according to the calculated one or more efficiency metrics.
