Zusammenfassung:Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to memory page access instrumentation for generating a memory access profile. The memory access profile may be used to co-locate data near the processing unit that accesses the data, reducing memory access energy by minimizing distances to access data that is co-located with a different processing unit (i.e., remote data). Execution thread arrays and memory pages for execution of a program are partitioned across multiple processing units. The partitions are then each mapped to a specific processing unit to minimize inter-partition traffic given the processing unit physical topology.
