Abstract

A technique includes distributing a plurality of tasks among a plurality of worker nodes to perform a processing operation on an array. Each task is associated with a set of a least one data block of the array, and an order of the tasks is defined by an array-based programming language. Distribution of the tasks includes, for at least one of the worker nodes, selectively reordering the order defined by the array-based programming language to regulate an amount of data transferred to the worker node.
