Abstract
A computer-implemented method is provided for hiding overheads on a parallel computing platform. The computer-implemented method includes loading a first kernel overhead and a second kernel overhead in a queue of a second thread, and loading a dummy kernel overhead between the first and second kernel overheads in the queue of second thread. The computer-implemented method further includes loading a waiting process in the queue of a first thread, the waiting process remaining active until a previous kernel of the first and second kernel overheads ends. The computer-implemented method furthers include allocating memory copy overheads related to the previous kernel in the queue of the first thread and allocating a stop process in the queue of the first thread, the stop process configured to stop a dummy kernel, the dummy kernel related to the dummy kernel overhead.
