Implementation of Dynamic Loop Scheduling in Reconfigurable Platforms

Abstract—Dynamic scheduling algorithms have been success-fully used for parallel computations of nested loops in traditional parallel computers and clusters. In this paper we propose a new architecture, implementing a coarse grain dynamic loop scheduling, suitable for reconfigurable hardware platforms. We use an analytical model and a case study to evaluate the performance of the proposed architecture. This approach makes efficient memory and processing elements use and thus gives better results than previous approaches. I
