Title: Unified Scheduling of Polymorphic Parallelism on the Cell Processor

Dimitrios S. Nikolopoulos

Abstract: Programming the Cell  presents  unique challenges, stemming from heterogeneity and the need to orchestrate parallelism across many  layers. Though approximate guidelines for harnessing parallelism at any given layer exist, programmers lack models, methods and abstractions to synthesize multiple forms of parallelism, into optimal program decomposition execution plans. This talk presents a unified framework for synthesizing and scheduling polymorphic parallelism on Cell, based on an event-driven
execution model  and dynamic allocation of processor resources to events.
