Objectives. The construction of rational plans (schedules) for parallel program execution (PPE) represents a challenging problem due to its ambiguity. The aim of this work is to create methods for developing such plans and specialized software for implementing these methods, which are based on the internal properties of algorithms, primarily on the property of internal (hidden) parallelism.Methods. The main method for developing PPE plans was the construction, analysis, and purposeful transformation of the stacked-parallel form (SPF) of information graphs of algorithms (IGA). The SPF was transformed by transferring operators from tier to tier of the SPF (this event was taken as an elementary step in determining the computational complexity of scenario execution). As a transformation tool, a method for developing transformation scenarios in the scripting programming language Lua was used. Scenarios were created by a heuristic approach using a set of Application Programming Interface (API) functions of the developed software system. These functions formed the basis for a comprehensive study of the parameters of the IGA and its SPF representation for the subsequent construction of a PPE plan applying to a given field of parallel computers.Results. Features of the internal properties of the algorithms that affect the efficiency of SPF transformations were identified during the course of computational experiments. Comparative indices of the computational complexity of obtaining PPE plans and other parameters (including code density, etc.) were obtained for various SPF transformation scenarios. An iterative approach to improving heuristic methods favors developing optimal schemes for solving the objective problem.Conclusions. The developed software system confirmed its efficiency for studying the parameters of hidden parallelism in arbitrary algorithms and rational use in data processing. The approach of using a scripting language to develop heuristic methods (scenarios) for the purposeful transformation of IGA forms showed great flexibility and transparency for the researcher. The target consumers of the developed methods for generating schedules for parallel execution of programs are, first of all, developers of translators and virtual machines, and researchers of the properties of algorithms (for identifying and exploiting the potential of their hidden parallelism). The developed software and methods have been successfully used for a number of years for increasing student competence in data processing parallelization at Russian universities. |
