Data Parallel Computation Scheduler
Prophet is an automatic run-time scheduling system for SPMD computations designed for heterogeneous workstation networks.
Prophet solves three problems associated with scheduling data parallel computations in this environment:
  • (1) Processor selection (2) Data domain decomposition(3) Task placement.
  • Processor selection chooses the best subset of processors to use based on the problem computation granularity.
