U.S.-France Cooperative Research: Parameterized Task Graph Scheduling

这个为期三年的奖项支持美国加州大学圣巴巴拉分校的杨涛和法国里昂高等师范学院并行计算实验室的米歇尔·科斯纳德在计算机体系结构方面的美法合作研究。罗格斯大学（Rutgers University）的Apostolos Gerasoulis博士也将参与该项目。研究人员提出了并行分布式存储体系结构任务的符号调度问题。高效调度计算任务执行和数据移动被认为是大规模并行机器和工作站集群上高性能计算的必要条件。美国调查人员开发了调度算法和软件工具。这是法国在顺序FORTRAN程序的自动并行化技术方面的专业知识的补充。该项目利用了法国研究小组开发的原型系统。

This three-year award supports U.S.-France cooperative research in computer architecture between Tao Yang at the University of California, Santa Barbara and Michel Cosnard of the Laboratory for Parallel Computing at the Ecole Normale Superieure, Lyon, France. Dr. Apostolos Gerasoulis of Rutgers University will also participate in the project. The investigators propose to study symbolic scheduling of tasks for parallel distributed memory architectures. Efficient scheduling computational task execution and data movement is considered essential to high performance computing on massively parallel machines and workstation clusters. The U.S. investigators have developed scheduling algorithms and software tools. This is complemented by French expertise in techniques for automated parallelization of sequential FORTRAN programs. The project takes advantage of a prototype system developed by the French research group.
