multiprocessor scheduling

Multiprocessor/Cluster Scheduling
‹ Design issue

• Process/thread to processor assignment

‹ Gang scheduling (co-scheduling)

• Threads of the same process will run together (on a multiprocessor)
• Processes of the same application run together (on a cluster)

‹ Dedicated processor assignment

• Threads will be running to specific processors to completion
• Is this a good idea?
