Heterogeneous systems are present from powerful supercomputers, to mobile
devices, including desktop computers, thanks to their excellent performance and
energy consumption. The ubiquity of these architectures in both desktop systems
and medium-sized service servers allow enough variability to exploit a wide
range of problems, such as multimedia workloads, video encoding, image
filtering and inference in machine learning. Due to the heterogeneity, some
efforts have been done to reduce the programming effort and preserve
performance portability, but these systems include a set of challenges. The
context in which applications offload the workload along with the management
overheads introduced when doing co-execution, penalize the performance gains
under time-constrained scenarios. Therefore, this paper proposes optimizations
for the EngineCL runtime to reduce the penalization when co-executing in
commodity systems, as well as algorithmic improvements when load balancing. An
exhaustive experimental evaluation is performed, showing optimization
improvements of 7.5\% and 17.4\% for binary and ROI-based offloading modes,
respectively. Thanks to all the optimizations, the new load balancing algorithm
is always the most efficient scheduling configuration, achieving an average
efficiency of 0.84 under a pessimistic scenario.
