The HYFMGPU algorithm was proposed as a single-GPU high-performance solution, but the need for a distributed version has arisen due to the continuous evolution of sensors that generate images with finer spatial and spectral resolutions. In a previous work, we simplified the programming of the multi-device parts of an initial MPI+CUDA multi-GPU implementation of HYFMGPU by means of Hitmap, a library to ease the programming of parallel applications based on distributed arrays. The performance of that Hitmap version was assessed in a homogeneous GPU cluster. In this paper, we extend this implementation by means of new functionalities added to the latest version of Hitmap in order to support arbitrary load distributions for multi-node heterogeneous GPU clusters. Three different load balancing layouts are tested, which prove that selecting a proper layout affects the performance of the code and how this performance is correlated with the use of the GPUs available in the cluster.
