Abstract: Dawn E. Gregory Lixin Gao Arnold L. Rosenberg Paul R. Cohen Department of Computer Science, University of Massachusetts Amherst, MA 01003, USA Abstract We empirically analyze and compare two distributed, low-overhead policies for scheduling dynamic treestructured computations on rings of identical PEs. Our experiments show that both policies give significant parallel speedup on large classes of computations, and that one yields almost optimal speedup on moderate size rings. We believe that...
