Abstract

In this paper, a task duplication based heuristic scheduling algorithm is proposed to solve the problem of task scheduling on Shared Memory Multiporcessors (SMM). The proposed algorithm pre-allocates network resources so as to avoid potential communication conlhct, and the algorithm uses heuristies to select duplication tasks so as to recuce of a multiprocessors, and generates scheduling accorting to the available number of processors ina system. The proposed algorithm has been applied to some practical task graphs in the simulation, and the results show that the proposed algorithm achieves considerable performance improvement, in respect of schedule length.

본 논문에서는 공유 메모리 다중 프로세서 시스템에서 태스크 중복을 기반으로 하는 휴리스틱 스케줄링 알고리즘을 제안한다. 제안된 알고리즘에서는 공유 메모리에서 통신할 때 발생되는 충돌을 방지하기 위하여 네트웍 통신 자원을 우선 할당하고, 스케줄링 길이를 단축하고 병렬처리 시간을 줄이기 위한 중복 태스크를 선택할 때 휴리스틱을 사용한다. 제안된 알고리즘은 태스크 그래프를 입력으로 받아 다중 프로세서로 스케줄링하며, 시스템에서 사용 가능한 프로세서의 수에 맞도록 태스크를 스케줄링 할 수 있다. 시뮬레이션에서는 제안된 알고리즘을 실제 응용프로그램의 태스크 그래프에 적용하였으며, 프로세서 수의 변화에 따른 스케줄링 길이를 비교하여 제안된 알고리즘의 성능이 우수함을 보여주었다.
