Abstract
Managing a group of heterogeneous compute nodes, especially if the heterogeneity concerns
the type of main processing unit, is a nontrivial task. This framework sets out to allow the dynamic
and intelligent scheduling and distribution of computational tasks across such a hybrid
environment.
The framework supports dynamic managing of the tasks as well as a prediction of run times
for some often-used algorithms, which allows the scheduler to further optimize the selection of
compute nodes to run the calculation on.
