Abstract

Processor self-scheduling is an efficient dynamic scheduling for multiprocessors. This paper discusses the impact of the self-scheduling order on the performance of multiply-nested parallel loops. It is shown that, due to data synchronization for cross-iteration data dependences, the completion time of a multiply-nested loop is reduced when the nesting parallel loops with smaller delays are moved to the inside. The best performance is achieved when a shortest-delay scheduling order is used. The performance of the shortest-delay self-scheduling is compared to other self-scheduling orders and to compile-time static scheduling order proposed elsewhere. Program transformation needed to implement shortest-delay self-scheduling is also included.
