Scheduling jobs on the IBM SP2 system is usually done by giving each job a partition of the machine for its exclusive use. Allocating such partitions in the order that the jobs ar...
Mixed-Mode simulation has been generating considerable interest in the simulation community and has continued to grow as an active research area. Traditional mixed-mode simulation...
Instruction scheduling methods based on the construction of state diagrams (or automata) have been used for architectures involving deeply pipelined function units. However, the s...
