Abstract

Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture are disclosed improve utilization of a heterogeneous system executing software. The disclosed methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture include an apparatus comprising a variant manager to determine whether an algorithm is a candidate for sub-algorithmic partitioning (SAP) based on at least one of a first size of input data to the algorithm and a second size of output data from the algorithm; a partitioner to partition the algorithm into at least a first tile and a second tile; and a compiler to compile a first variant based on the first tile and a second variant based on the second tile into an executable file, the first variant to be executed on a first processing element of the heterogeneous system, the second variant to be executed on a second processing element of the heterogeneous system.
