Abstract: A method of assigning processing resources is described. The method includes receiving an application and analyzing the application to determine an expected run time use of the processing resources. At least a portion of the processing resources are assigned to the application based on the expected run time use of the processing resources. A computing system architecture including a processing resource pool, an interface, and a special purpose optimization coprocessor is also described. The interface receives an application to be executed. The special purpose optimization coprocessor receives information about the application and the processing resource pool and outputs an allocation scheme for allocating tasks of the application to the processing resource pool.

Abstract: A method of efficiently executing a plurality of processes is described. The method generates, using a predictor, operating constraints for the processes. An operating constraint of the operating constraints is for each process of the processes. The method evaluates possible operating points for each process consistent with the operating constraints and according to a cost function for the processes. The method also determines an operating point for each process based on the evaluating.
