Summary: | 碩士 === 國立交通大學 === 資訊工程學系 === 85 === In this thesis, we study a series of hyperplane-based time
scheduling methods for uniform recurrence equations. The studied
schedules are linear schedule, uniform affine schedule, affine
schedule, and multi-dimensional schedule.In addition, a schedule
named as multi-dimensional affine schedule is studied.It
improves the execution time of the multi-dimensional schedule.
All these scheduling problems are formulated as linear programs.
Time scheduling problem is a very important problem on parallel
cmputing field. It plays an important role in the designs of
parallel processor array and parallel compilers. Besides, for
illustration, these scheduling methods are implemented for some
real examples, including convolution, selection sort, 2D filter
and a complex example of uniform recurrence equations. From
these illustrative examples, the quality of various time
scheduling methods can be explored. Moreover, the importance of
the time scheduling problem in parallel algorithms can be seen.
