Abstract
An improved parallel processing apparatus and method executes an iterative sequence of instructions by arranging the sequence into subtasks and allocating those subtasks to processors. This division and allocation is conducted in such a manner as to minimize data contention among the processors and to maximize the locality of data to them. The improved apparatus and method have application to a variety of multiprocessor systems, including those which are massively parallel.
