Abstract
In this paper, we propose an affinity-based self scheduling scheme (ABS) for software shared memory system. In this scheme, the static affinity between processor and initial data distribution is considered when scheduling, and the synchronization overhead is reduced greatly when load imbalance occurs. Comparized with previous schemes, ABS performs better in metacomputing environment.
