Abstract
Embodiments described herein provide a system for facilitating hybrid task management across a central processing unit (CPU) and a graphics processing unit (GPU) of a computer. During operation, the system determines a set of tasks for performing data mining on a data set and storing the set of tasks in a data structure in an ascending order of uniformity associated with a respective task. The uniformity of a task indicates how uneven and skewed the task is compared to other tasks in the set of tasks. The system then allocates a subset of tasks to a core of the CPU from a front of the data structure and a subset of tasks to a core of the GPU from a back of the data structure.
