Evaluating orthogonality between application auto-tuning and run-time resource management for adaptive OpenCL applications

The ever increasing number of processing units integrated on the same many-core chip delivers computational power that can exceed the performance requirements of a single application. The number of chips (and related power consumption) can thus be reduced to serve multiple applications - a practice which is called resource consolidation. However, this solution requires techniques to partition and assign resources among the applications and to manage unpredictable dynamic workloads.
