Runtime Performance Analysis of the M - to - N Scheduling

نویسنده

چکیده

The popular M-toN thread scheduling model multiplexes many user-level threads on top of fewer kernel-level threads. While this model is designed to be scalable and eecient without excessive resource consumption, we isolate several elementary examples under which the M-toN model exhibits highly nonintuitive performance. We use a runtime performance monitor for multithreaded programs which we have developed, ThreadMon, to explain the causes of the unexpected results. We conclude that the complexity and nondeterminism exported to the programmer make performance tuning to the intricate M-toN model extremely diicult. Moreover, we show that the insulation of user-level scheduling from kernel-level scheduling can have undesirable side-eeects.
