Title: Dmitry S. Petrov: Inventor in Heterogeneous Computing

Introduction

Dmitry S. Petrov is an inventor based in Nizhny Novgorod, Russia, and works at Intel Corporation. His patent work addresses how software can identify program code that may run more efficiently on an accelerator alongside a host processor.

Latest Patents

Petrov is associated with 1 patent, titled “Code Objects Offload Based on Accelerator, Accelerator Cache and Data Transfer Metrics.” The invention describes an offload analyzer that examines a program and identifies code objects for possible execution on an accelerator. It uses runtime measurements from the host processor and estimated accelerator performance metrics to compare execution times, including the overhead of transferring work to the accelerator. A dynamic-programming-like approach traverses the program’s call tree from the bottom up to select additional code objects for offloading. The system can then generate a heterogeneous version of the program for execution across the host processor and accelerator.

Career Highlights

Petrov’s listed work at Intel Corporation connects his invention to heterogeneous computing, where processors and accelerators cooperate to execute software. The patent focuses on using performance estimates and transfer costs to guide offloading decisions.

Collaborations

Petrov’s listed coworkers include Kermin E. ChoFleming, Jr., and Egor A. Kazachkov. Their inclusion reflects professional connections associated with his work.

Conclusion

Dmitry S. Petrov’s patent presents a metrics-driven method for choosing which program code to offload, with the goal of improving execution across heterogeneous computing systems.
