Abstract
A method may include receiving instructions to process a first application in response to a user request. The method also includes determining whether to store the first application in a first processing queue or a second processing queue based on a comparison between a CPU processing cost associated with the first application and a GPU processing cost associated with the first application. Further, the method includes grouping a first set of applications stored in the first processing queue according to CPU grouping criteria and grouping a second set of applications stored in the second processing queue according to GPU batching criteria. The method also includes causing a CPU to process the grouped first set of applications and a plurality of GPUs to process the grouped second set of applications.
