A Variable Group Block Distribution Strategy for Dense Factorizations on Networks of Heterogeneous Computers
Alexey Lastovetsky, Ravi Reddy · 2006
Abstract. In this paper, we present a static data distribution strategy called Variable Group Block distribution to optimize the execution of factorization of a dense matrix on a network of heterogeneous computers. The distribution is based on a functional performance model of computers, which tries to capture different aspects of heterogeneity of the computers including the (multi-level) memory structure and paging effects. 1
