Separation constraint partitioning
Klaus Erik Schauser, David Culler, Seth Copen Goldstein · 1995
In this paper we present substantially improved thread partitioning algorithms for modern implicitly parallel languages. We present a new block partitioning algorithm, separation constraint partitioning, which is both more powerful and more flexible than previous algorithms. Our algorithm is guaranteed to derive maximal threads. We present a theoretical framework for proving the correctness of our partitioning approach, and we show how separation constraint partitioning makes interprocedural partitioning viable.
