Cache Optimization for Coarse Grain Task Parallel Processing Using Inter-Array Padding

The wide use of multiprocessor system has been making automatic parallelizing compilers more important. To improve the performance of multiprocessor system more by compiler, multigrain parallelization is important. In multigrain parallelization, coarse grain task parallelism among loops and subroutines and near fine grain parallelism among statements is used in addition...

Efficiency of Distributed Parallel Processing Using Java RMI, Sockets, and CORBA

Software development is proceeding at a remarkable rate. Many new tools are available to the researcher in parallel and distributed processing. These tools include PVM, MPI, and Java. But, recently, a more general tool, Common Object Request Broker Architecture, CORBA has appeared. Since it allows a general view of remote...

Allocating and Scheduling Hard Real-Time Tasks on a Parallel Processing Platform

This paper addresses the issues of scheduling and allocation/configuration of a point-to-point parallel system, for safety-critical hard real-time systems. Three specific topics are considered: an analysable computational model that has sufficient expressive power whilst retaining flexibility for allocation; a scheduling approach that allows the worst case response times for each...
