Abstract
Systems and methods for automatic generation of software pipelines for heterogeneous parallel systems (AHP) include pipelining a program with one or more tasks on a parallel computing platform with one or more processing units and partitioning the program into pipeline stages, wherein each pipeline stage contains one or more tasks. The one or more tasks in the pipeline stages are scheduled onto the one or more processing units, and execution times of the one or more tasks in the pipeline stages are estimated. The above steps are repeated until a specified termination criterion is reached.
