Abstract
A multiprocessor computer system comprises a plurality of nodes, wherein the nodes are ordered using dimension-ordered numbering. An application placement module is operable to place an application in nodes with preference given to nodes ordered near one another.
Claims18
A multiprocessor computer system, comprising:
- an application placement module operable to place an application in a plurality of nodes, wherein the nodes are ordered using a dimension-ordered numbering such that numbering progresses in a smaller dimension before a larger dimension, and the application is placed with preference given to nodes ordered near one another.
A method of placing applications in a multiprocessor computer system, comprising:
- ordering a plurality of processor nodes using a dimension-ordered numbering such that numbering progresses in a smaller dimension before a larger dimension;
- and
- placing an application in a plurality of nodes via an application placement module, the application placed with preference given to nodes ordered near one another.
A machine-readable medium with instructions thereon, the instructions when executed operable to cause a computerized system to:
- order a plurality of processor nodes using a dimension-ordered numbering such that numbering progresses in a smaller dimension before a larger dimension;
- and
- place an application in a plurality of nodes via an application placement module, the application placed with preference given to nodes ordered near one another.
