5.2.6 /scheduling=<list>, /schd=<list>, (/scheduling=e)

The /scheduling qualifier tells KAP what kind of scheduling to use for the iterations of loops on a multiprocessor system. The possible values are as follows:


e - Even scheduling where KAP divides the iterations into equal size chunks so that there are at most (#_ of_processors) chunks. For example, if there are 9 iterations and 3 processors, the first processor would execute iterations 1, 2, and 3, the second processor, iterations 4, 5, and 6, and the third processor, iterations 7, 8, and 9.
s - Static scheduling where the processors execute iterations starting from their processor number and skipping (#_of_processors) iterations. For example, if there are 9 iterations and 3 processors, the first processor would execute iterations 1, 4, and 7, the second processor, iterations 2, 5, and 8, and the third processor, iterations 3, 6, and 9.
