Heterogeneous supercomputers that incorporate computational accelerators
such as GPUs are increasingly popular due to their high
peak performance, energy efficiency and comparatively low cost.
Unfortunately, the programming models and frameworks designed
to extract performance from all computational units still lack the
flexibility of their CPU-only counterparts. Accelerated OpenMP
improves this situation by supporting natural migration of OpenMP
code from CPUs to a GPU. However, these implementations currently
lose one of OpenMP’s best features, its flexibility: typical
OpenMP applications can run on any number of CPUs. GPU implementations
do not transparently employ multiple GPUs on a node
or a mix of GPUs and CPUs. To address these shortcomings, we
present CoreTSAR, our runtime library for dynamically scheduling
tasks across heterogeneous resources, and propose straightforward
extensions that incorporate this functionality into Accelerated
OpenMP. We show that our approach can provide nearly linear
speedup to four GPUs over only using CPUs or one GPU while
increasing the overall flexibility of Accelerated OpenMP
