STATIC TASK SCHEDULING ON FINE-GRAIN SUPPORTING MULTIPROCESSORS

Utilization of locality is one of the most important issues involved in the design of high-performance massively parallel processors. To enable scalability, it is advantageous to use a hierarchical multiprocessor system. On a hierarchical multiprocessor system, we can utilize hierarchical locality of a variety of applications. As an elemental processor, the use of a pipelined RISC processor or superscalar processor is desirable to exploit fine-grain parallelism. Consequently, the entire system has various levels of parallelism, namely, the pipeline level in the processor, the processor level in the cluster, and the cluster level in the entire system.
