Sapha
As multi-core processors became common, heterogeneity among cores on a single chip created a need to assign application threads to cores so that a thread’s resource needs match resource availability at its core. Sapha designed, implemented, and evaluated automatic thread-to-core assignment techniques for heterogeneous multi-core processors to improve their utilization without requiring hand-built representative input sets.
This project concluded during the lab’s time at Iowa State University.
