ASSIGNING WORKLOADS TO PHYSICAL RESOURCES IN SPATIAL ARCHITECTURES

Operations of a workload are assigned to physical resources of a physical device array. The workload includes a graph of operations to be performed on a physical device array. The graph of operations is partitioned into subgraphs. Partitioning includes at least minimizing the quantity of subgraphs and maximizing resource utilization per subgraph. A logical mapping of the subgraph to logical processing engine (PE) units is generated using features of the subgraph and tiling factors of the logical PE units. The logical mapping is assigned to physical PE units of the physical device array at least by minimizing network traffic across the physical PE units. The operations of the subgraph are performed using the physical PE units to which the logical mapping is assigned. This process enhances the computational efficiency of the array when executing the workload.
