Distributed Filaments: Efficient Fine-Grain Parallelism on a Cluster of Workstations
A fine-grain parallel program is one in which processes are typically small, ranging from a few to a few hundred instructions. Fine-grain parallelism arises naturally in many situ...

Efficient Fine-Grain Thread Migration with Active Threads
Thread migration is established as a mechanism for achieving dynamic load sharing. However, fine-grained migration has not been used due to the high thread and messaging overheads...

A New Heuristic for Scheduling Parallel Programs on Multiprocessor
In this paper, we present an efficient algorithm, called CASS-II, for task clustering without task duplication. Unlike the DSC algorithm, which is empirically the best known algor...
