  • 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 nsys×tsys. The selection of a linear scheduling function, which minimizes nsys×tsys 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
