Distributing computations in a parallel processing environment

摘要

A system comprises a plurality of computation units interconnected by an interconnection network. A method for configuring the system comprises accepting a set of instructions corresponding to a portion of a program that performs a computation repeatedly; identifying subsets of the instructions; and associating each subset with a different one of the computation units to form a specification of the set of instructions such that execution according to the specification forms a pipeline among at least some of the computation units.
