Abstract

There is provided a multi-core system that provides automated task list generation, parallelism templates, and memory management. By constructing, profiling, and analyzing a sequential list of functions to be executed in a parallel fashion, corresponding parallel execution templates may be stored for future lookup in a database. A processor may then select a subset of functions from the sequential list of functions based on input data, select a template from the template database based on particular matching criteria such as high-level task parameters, finalize the template by resolving pointers and adding or removing transaction control blocks, and forward the resulting optimized task list to a scheduler for distribution to multiple slave processing cores. The processor may also analyze data dependencies between tasks to consolidate tasks working on the same data to a single core, thereby implementing memory management and efficient memory locality.
