Hi. I'm interested in techniques for managing computational resources in parallel systems, such as load-balancing policies and user-level scheduling mechanisms. I would like to start amassing a collection of parallel programs that are difficult to schedule; i.e. programs that perform poorly using conventional scheduling techniques, and programs that require sophisticated partitioning and scheduling mechanisms in order to perform well. If you have any parallel programs that meet this description, or can provide me with pointers into relevant literature, I would like to hear from you. Please send e-mail to carl@lemon.lcs.mit.edu; I will post a follow-up summary of any information that I receive. Thanks in advance, Carl
