FULL EXPLOITATION OF PARALLEL PROCESSORS FOR DATA PROCESSING

摘要

For full exploitation of parallel processors for data processing, a set of parallel processors is partitioned into disjoint subsets according to indices of the set of the parallel processors. The size of each of the disjoint subsets corresponds to a number of processors assigned to the processing of the data chunks at one of the layers. Each of the processors are assigned to different layers in different data chunks such that each of processors are busy and the data chunks are fully processed within a number of the time steps equal to the number of the layers. A transition function is devised from the indices of the set of the parallel processors at one time steps to the indices of the set of the parallel processors at a following time step.
