Abstract

To use heterogeneous hardware, programmers must have sufficient technical skills to utilize OpenMP, CUDA, and OpenCL. On the basis of this, I have proposed environment-adaptive software that enables automatic conversion, configuration, and high performance operation of once written code, in accordance with the hardware. However, although it has been considered to convert the code according to the offload devices, there has been no study where to place the offloaded applications to satisfy users' requirements of price and response time. In this paper, as a new element of environment-adapted software, I examine a method to calculate appropriate locations using linear programming method. I confirm that applications can be arranged appropriately through simulations.
