Abstract
The invention solves the problem of sharing many-core devices (e.g. GPUs) among concurrent applications running on heterogeneous clusters. In particular, the invention provides transparent mapping of applications to many-core devices (that is, the user does not need to be aware of the many-core devices present in the cluster and of their utilization), time-sharing of many-core devices among applications also in the presence of conflicting memory requirements, and dynamic binding/binding of applications to/from many-core devices (that is, applications do not need to be statically mapped to the same many-core device for their whole life-time).
