  Abstract

Symmetric Multiprocessors (SMP) has emerged as an important and cost-effective platform for high performance parallel computing. Scheduling of parallel tasks and communications of SMP is important because the choice of a scheduling discipline can have a significant impact on the performance of the system. In this paper, we present a task duplication based scheduling scheme for bus-based SMP. The proposed scheme pre-allocates network communication resources so as to avoid potential communication conflicts. The performance of the proposed scheme has been observed by comparing the schedule length under various number of processors and the communication cost.
