Data-parallel load balancing strategies

摘要

Programming irregular and dynamic data-parallel algorithms must consider the effect of data distribution. The implementation of a load balancing algorithm is quite a difficult task for the programmer. However, a load balancing strategy may be developed independently of the application. The integration of such a strategy into the data-parallel algorithm may be relevant to a library or a data-parallel compiler run-time. We propose load distribution data-parallel algorithms for a class of irregular run-time algorithms called stack algorithms.
