Abstract
Techniques for dynamically balancing usage of central processing units (CPUs) and accelerators are provided. For example, a method is provided for receiving a task request for associated with a workload. A utility value is calculated for a plurality of strategies for executing the workload. At least two of the plurality of strategies are associated with a distribution of the workload between the CPU and the one or more accelerators. A strategy having a maximum utility value is selected from the plurality of strategies, and the task is executed according to the selected strategy.
