Abstract
In accordance with exemplary implementations, application computation operations and communications between operations on a host processing platform may be adapted to conform to the memory capacity of a parallel accelerator. Computation operations may be split and scheduled such that the computation operations fit within the memory capacity of the accelerator. Further, the operations may be automatically adapted without any modification to the code of an application. In addition, data transfers between a host processing platform and the parallel accelerator may be minimized in accordance with exemplary aspects of the present principles to improve processing performance.
