Previous: Platform Improvement [ECRC]
- Achievements:
- Devised improved memory management methods:
[UPM, in collaboration with Manchester]
- Detected high memory consumption when using non-restricted
scheduling in and-parallel programs
- Proposed implementation techniques to reduce it
- Assessment showed greatly reduced memory usage
- Studied implementing issues for nondeterministic or+and parallel
systems: [UPM, in collaboration with NMSU]
- Proposed a practical execution scheme (ACE)
- Studied overhead imposed by parallel execution in terms of
execution time and memory consumption
- Devised techniques to ameliorate this overhead by compile time
and run time identification of special cases
- Evaluated application of data-parallel techniques in and-parallelism:
[UPM]
- Better memory usage through task collapsing
- Faster task startup by splitting goal set-up among agents
- Achieved improved speedups, comparable with native data-parallel
only systems
