To all persons interested in parallel computation: I am looking for pointers to information (people or published material) about research (both theoretical and experimental) concerning parallel computation on finite-processor, infinite process machines. In particular, I am interested in research on the topic of processor scheduling in cases where the number of processes exceeds the number of processors. I want to address the problem of establishing an a priori ranking of processes within a parallel program, so that a compiler can decide which processes warrant their own processors and which processes are trivial enough to time-slice on the current processor. I appreciate any pointers you can give me. Please address replies to elvy@harvard.arpa or harvard!elvy, rather than to the sender of this item. Thanks, Marc -- bob brown UUCP: allegra!harvard!brown ARPA: brown@harvard
