Abstract
A method and an apparatus that allocate one or more physical compute devices such as Central Processing Units (CPUs) or Graphical Processing Units (GPUs) attached to a host processing unit running an application for executing one or more threads of the application are described. The allocation may be based on data representing a processing capability requirement from the application for executing an executable in the one or more threads. A compute device identifier may be associated with the allocated physical compute devices to schedule and execute the executable in the one or more threads concurrently in one or more of the allocated physical compute devices concurrently.
