This paper considers the use of data prefetching and an alternative mechanism, data forwarding, for reducing memory latency caused by interprocessor communication in cache coherent, shared memory multiprocessors. Data prefetching is accomplished by using a multiprocessor software pipelined algorithm
We present a task duplication based scheduling algorithm for shared memory multiprocessors (SMPs), called S2MP (scheduling for SMP), to address the problem of task scheduling. This algorithm employs heuristics to select duplication of tasks so that schedule length is reduced/minimized. The performan
A coarse-grain parallel program typically has one thread (task) per processor, whereas a finegrain program has one thread for each independent unit of work. Although there are several advantages to fine-grain parallelism, conventional wisdom is that coarse-grain parallelism is more efficient. This p
