Abstract

Optimized software execution on parallel computing systems demands consideration of many parameters at run-time. Determining the optimal set of parameters in a given execution context is a complex task, and therefore to address this issue researchers have proposed different approaches that use heuristic search or machine learning. In this paper, we undertake a systematic literature review to aggregate, analyze and classify the existing software optimization methods for parallel computing systems. We review approaches that use machine learning or meta-heuristics for scheduling parallel computing systems. Additionally, we discuss challenges and future research directions. The results of this study may help to better understand the state-of-the-art techniques that use machine learning and meta-heuristics to deal with the complexity of scheduling parallel computing systems. Furthermore, it may aid in understanding the limitations of existing approaches and identification of areas for improvement.
