Constructive Methods for Scheduling Uniform Loop Nests

This paper surveys scheduling techniques for loop nests with uniform dependences. First, we introduce the hyperplane method and related variants. Then we extend it by using a different affine scheduling for each statement within the nest. In both cases, we present a new, constructive, and efficient method to determine optimal solutions, i.e., schedules whose total execution time is minimum. >
