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

这一为期三年的奖项支持加州大学圣巴巴拉分校的陶阳和法国里昂高等学院并行计算实验室的Michel Cosnard在计算机体系结构方面的美法合作研究。罗格斯大学的Apostolos Gerasoulis博士也将参与该项目。研究人员建议对并行分布式存储结构中的任务符号调度进行研究。高效的调度、计算任务执行和数据移动被认为是在大规模并行机和工作站集群上进行高性能计算的关键。美国调查人员已经开发了调度算法和软件工具。这与法国在FORTRAN顺序程序自动并行化技术方面的专业知识相辅相成。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.
