Abstract

In order to fully parallelize tightly coupled, speedup-oriented MIMD machines, it would be desirable to implement their resource management functions in such a way that: (1) any number of processors--up to all of them--can perform resource management in parallel and (2) no central (i. e. , serially accessible) tables of resources need be accessed by processors running the resource management code. The authors propose a process scheduling policy, namely, deliberate random level-order scheduling with time slicing, and a mechanism for implementing it for which (1) and (2) hold. Performance of this policy is studied both analytically and through simulation.
