We study a simple, low-overhead policy for scheduling dynamically evolving computations in which tasks that spawn produce precisely two offspring, on rings of processors. Such computations include, for instance, tree-structured branching computations. We believe that our policy yields good parallel
The parallel solution of large sets of equations derived from finite element or finite difference methods often involves the use of domain decomposition methods. This paper is concerned with the related problem of mapping subdomain partitioning to a processor topology in such a way that the communic
We study randomized on-line scheduling on mesh machines. We show that for scheduling independent jobs randomized algorithms can achieve a significantly better performance than deterministic ones; on the other hand with dependencies randomization does not help.
