Abstract

This work deals with the general case of processors with multiple, possibly pipelined, functional units that operate concurrently and presents a method for the minimization of the actual computation time n/sub sys/*t/sub sys/. The selection of a linear scheduling function, which minimizes n/sub sys/*t/sub sys /is formulated as a combinatorial optimization problem, which is shown to have a bounded search space. An efficient branch-and-bound method for the solution of that problem is proposed and applied to several examples.
