Abstract

The execution of a class of nonvectorizable loops on multiprocessors, namely, linear recurrences, is considered. When naively scheduled, such recurrences could create unnecessary communication and synchronization on a multiprocessor. A method called minimum-distance, which can create totally independent computations from recurrences, is presented. The independent computations are well-suited for execution on a multiprocessor, but they may not require all available processors. Ways in which extra processors can be allocated within the independent computations are given.
