Abstract
Methods and systems relating to the field of parallel computing are disclosed herein. The methods and systems disclosed include approaches for sparsity uniformity enforcement for a set of computational nodes which are used to execute a complex computation. A disclosed method includes determining a sparsity distribution in a set of operand data, and generating, using a compiler, a set of instructions for executing, using the set of operand data and a set of processing cores, a complex computation. Alternatively, the method includes altering the operand data. The method also includes distributing the set of operand data to the set of processing cores for use in executing the complex computation in accordance with the set of instructions. Either the altering is conducted to, or the compiler is programmed to, balance the sparsity distribution among the set of processing cores.
