Heterogeneous multi-core system thread-level dynamic dispatching method based on configurable processor

Abstract

A thread level dynamic scheduling method based on isomerization multicore system of configurable processor includes steps as follows: a first step, the isomerization multicore structure is composed of a set of configurable process cores, each process core is provided with a set of common instruction set, each core has an instruction set configuration core_isa, which represents that the core can operate certain instruction sets; a second step, the application program is divided into a plurality of threads, only data dependence exists between these threads, each thread is provided with an expectation instruction property thread_isa, representing that the thread uses the instruction set on which this instruction focused; a third step, the operating system and the application running on the operating system are translated and compiled into binary executable file all together, all the processor cores share a same operating system data area; a fourth step, after the completion of the above-mentioned steps, thread-level dynamic scheduling is carried out. The present invention solves the low allocation efficiency shortcoming of the static state scheduling, thereby reducing the learning time and simplifying the programming model.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method in the field of computer technology, in particular to a thread-level dynamic scheduling method based on a configurable processor for a heterogeneous multi-core system. Background technique [0002] Existing task scheduling models can be roughly divided into two types: static scheduling and dynamic scheduling. Static scheduling means that the scheduling rules have been determined when the program is compiled, and the operating system or control program only needs to assign concurrent tasks to corresponding tasks according to the scheduling rules at runtime. On the contrary, the dynamic task scheduling does not determine the scheduling rules when the program is compiled, and the operating system or control program assigns concurrent tasks to a suitable processing core according to the current working state of the system at runtime, so Only the runtime can determine the execution sequence of tasks on each core.
