Locality-Aware Task Management on Many-Core Processors

As more cores are packed onto the same die, memory hierarchies are becoming deeper and more complex. Further, with an increasing number of cores, applications must be split into finer-grained tasks to expose more parallelism. The resulting smaller tasks are more sensitive to cache misses. These trends feed into an increasing importance to schedule tasks in a locality-aware manner. This research investigates locality-aware management of fine-grained tasks in many-core systems.
