ABSTRACT:
A process, compiler, computer program product and system for workload partitioning in a heterogeneous system. The process includes determining heterogeneous alignment constraints in the workload, partitioning a portion of tasks to a processing element sensitive to alignment constraints, and partitioning a remaining portion of tasks to a processing element not sensitive to alignment constraints.
