There is a single hypervisor that is in charge of resizing contexts and the resizing strategy is chosen at the initialization of the hypervisor. A single resize can be done at a time.
The Scheduling Context Hypervisor Plugin provides a series of performance counters to StarPU. By incrementing them, StarPU can help the hypervisor in the resizing decision making process.
The function sc_hypervisor_init() initializes the hypervisor to use the strategy provided as parameter and creates the performance counters (see starpu_sched_ctx_performance_counters). These performance counters represent actually some callbacks that will be used by the contexts to notify the information needed by the hypervisor.
Scheduling Contexts that have to be resized by the hypervisor must be first registered to the hypervisor using the function sc_hypervisor_register_ctx()
Note: The Hypervisor is actually a worker that takes this role once certain conditions trigger the resizing process (there is no additional thread assigned to the hypervisor).
void * sc_hypervisor_init | ( | struct sc_hypervisor_policy * | policy | ) |
Start the hypervisor with the given policy
void sc_hypervisor_shutdown | ( | void | ) |
Shutdown the hypervisor. The hypervisor and all information concerning it is cleaned. There is no synchronization between this function and starpu_shutdown(). Thus, this should be called after starpu_shutdown(), because the performance counters will still need allocated callback functions.
void sc_hypervisor_register_ctx | ( | unsigned | sched_ctx, |
double | total_flops | ||
) |
Register the context to the hypervisor, and indicate the number of flops the context will execute (used for Gflops rate based strategy)
void sc_hypervisor_unregister_ctx | ( | unsigned | sched_ctx | ) |
Unregister a context from the hypervisor, and so exclude the context from the resizing process
void sc_hypervisor_post_resize_request | ( | unsigned | sched_ctx, |
int | task_tag | ||
) |
Require resizing the context sched_ctx
whenever a task tagged with the id task_tag
finished executing
void sc_hypervisor_resize_ctxs | ( | unsigned * | sched_ctxs, |
int | nsched_ctxs, | ||
int * | workers, | ||
int | nworkers | ||
) |
Require reconsidering the distribution of resources over the indicated scheduling contexts, i.e reevaluate the distribution of the resources and eventually resize if needed
void sc_hypervisor_stop_resize | ( | unsigned | sched_ctx | ) |
Do not allow the hypervisor to resize a context.
void sc_hypervisor_start_resize | ( | unsigned | sched_ctx | ) |
Allow the hypervisor to resize a context if necessary.
const char * sc_hypervisor_get_policy | ( | void | ) |
Return the name of the resizing policy used by the hypervisor
void sc_hypervisor_add_workers_to_sched_ctx | ( | int * | workers_to_add, |
unsigned | nworkers_to_add, | ||
unsigned | sched_ctx | ||

Ask the hypervisor to add workers to a sched_ctx
void sc_hypervisor_remove_workers_from_sched_ctx | ( | int * | workers_to_remove, |
unsigned | nworkers_to_remove, | ||
unsigned | sched_ctx, | ||
unsigned | now | ||

Ask the hypervisor to remove workers from a sched_ctx
void sc_hypervisor_move_workers | ( | unsigned | sender_sched_ctx, |
unsigned | receiver_sched_ctx, | ||
int * | workers_to_move, | ||

Ask the hypervisor to move workers from one context to another
void sc_hypervisor_size_ctxs | ( | unsigned * | sched_ctxs, |
int | nsched_ctxs, | ||

Clear the list of pending demands of resizing
unsigned sc_hypervisor_can_resize | ( | unsigned | sched_ctx | ) |
Check out if a context can be resized
void sc_hypervisor_set_type_of_task | ( | struct starpu_codelet * | cl, |

uint32_t | footprint, | ||
size_t | data_size | ||

Indicate the types of tasks a context will execute in order to better decide the sizing of ctxs
void sc_hypervisor_update_diff_total_flops | ( | unsigned | sched_ctx, |
