Processor Allocation and Scheduling of Macro Dataflow Graphs on Distributed Memory Multicomputers by the PARADIGM Compiler
Shankar Ramaswamy, Prithviraj Banerjee · 1993
Functional or Control parallelism is an efiectiuc way to increase speedups in Multicomputers. Programs for these machines are represented by Macro Dataflow Graphs (MRGsJ for the purpose of functional parallelism analysk and exploitation. Algorithms for allocation and schedttlang of MDGs have been discussed along with some analysis of their optirnality. These algorithms attempt to minimize the execution time of any given MDG through exploitation of functional parallelism. Our preliminary results show their eflectiveness over naive algorithms.
