Intel Xeon Phi Coprocessor appears and it fully supports multitasking, but it does not automatically ensure high performance in this case. A conventional task level resource allocation scheduler could be used, but a processor utilization of the Xeon Phi is low because of idle time on the Xeon Phi. In this paper, we propose a dynamic offload scheduler which assigns processor resources of the Xeon Phi to tasks by an offload level. We describe an effectiveness of the proposed method with evaluations.
