Automatic mapping tasks to cores : Evaluating AMTHA Algorithm in multicore architectures

The AMTHA (Automatic Mapping Task on Heterogeneous Architectures) algorithm for task-to-processors assignment and the MPAHA (Model of Parallel Algorithms on Heterogeneous Architectures) model are presented. The use of AMTHA is analyzed for multicore processor-based architectures, considering the communication model among processes in use. The results obtained in the tests carried out are presented, comparing the real execution times on multicores of a set of synthetic applications with the predictions obtained with AMTHA. Finally current lines of research are presented, focusing on clusters of multicores and hybrid programming paradigmsPresentado en el IX Workshop Procesamiento Distribuido y Paralelo (WPDP)Red de Universidades con Carreras en Informática (RedUNCI
