Abstract

Incremental computing masks the communication latency by overlapping computations with communications. However, a sequence of messages with a large latency variance still makes computations proceed intermittently. It is known that a dominant input stream from a data server maximizes the CPU utilization of the networked computation server [7]. Unfortunately, the problem of finding a dominant input stream is NP-hard in the strong sense. In this paper, a dominant input stream for LU decomposition is proposed. It is shown that the dominant input stream outperforms the input stream sending data in traditional order. In addition, the nonexistence of dominant input streams is proved for the case that the compressed format is used for sending input data.
