Locality and Loop Scheduling on NUMA Multiprocessors
Hui Li, Sudarsan Tandri, Michael Stumm, Kenneth C. Sevcik · 1993
An improtant issue in the parallel execution of loops is how to partition and schedule the loops onto the available processors. While most existing dynamic scheduling algorithms manage to load imbalance well, they fail to take locality into account and therefore perform poorly on parallel systems with non-uniform memory access times.
