Exploiting Task-Level Parallelism Using pTask
This paper presents pTask-- a system that allows users to automatically exploit dynamic task-level parallelism in sequential array-based C programs. The system employs compiler analysis to extract data usage information from the program, then uses this information at run-time to dynamically exploit concurrency and to enforce data-dependences. Experimental results using a prototype of the system show scaling performance and low overhead on a 32-processor KSR1 multiprocessor for a number of applications.
