A global resource-constrained parallelization technique
Abstract
This paper presents a new approach to resource-constrained compiler extraction of fine-grain parallelism, targeted towards VLIW supercomputers, and in particular, the IBM VLIW (Very Large Instruction Word) processor. The algorithms described integrate resource limitations into Percolation Scheduling - A global parallelization technique-to deal with resource constraints, without sacrificing the generality and completeness of Percolation Scheduling in the process. This is in sharp contrast with previous approaches which either applied only to conditional-free code, or drastically limited the parallelization process by imposing relatively local heuristic resource constraints early in the scheduling process.
