Software pipelining can have an enormous impact on the clock cycle count and hence on the performance of a real-time signal processing design. Because it pays off to invest CPU time in the optimal software pipelining of time-critical parts of a design, an integer programming approach is proposed for simultaneous scheduling and software pipelining. The integer programming techniques in the liter...

Software pipelining is a compile-time scheduling technique that overlaps successive loop iterations to expose operation-level parallelism. An important problem with the development of e ective software pipelining algorithms is how to handle loops with conditional branches. Conditional branches increase the complexity and decrease the e ectiveness of software pipelining algorithms by introducing...

Modem DSP Processors have been integrated with InsrrucrionLevel Purullelism(ILP), which presents a challenge to exploit ILP within DSP applications. Software Pipelining is an efficient tcchnique used to expose ILP for loop programs and has been widely used for current microprocessors. It has been recently used in DSP compilers, but only for the innermost loops. This paper proposes a new approac...

This paper presents a software pipelining algorithm for the automatic extraction of ne-grain parallelism in general loops. The algorithm accounts for machine resource constraints in a way that smoothly integrates the management of resource constraints with software pipelining. Furthermore, generality in the software pipelining algorithm is not sacriiced to handle resource constraints, and sched...

GridFTP is an exceptionally fast transfer protocol for large volumes of data. Implementations of it are widely deployed and used on well-connected Grid environments such as those of the TeraGrid because of its ability to scale to network speeds. However, when the data is partitioned into many small files instead of few large files, it suffers from lower transfer rates. The latency between the s...
