Description/Abstract

Parallelization of many irregular applications results in unstructured collective communication. In this paper we present a distributed algorithm for scheduling such communication on parallel machines. We describe the performance of this algorithm on the CM-5 and show that the scheduling algorithm has very small overhead and gives a significant improvement over naive methods.
