In recent years, Multicore computers have been widely included in cluster systems. They adopt shared memory architectures. However, previous researches on parallel loop self-scheduling did not consider the feature of multicore computers. It is more suitable for shared-memory multiprocessors to adopt OpenMP for parallel programming. In this paper, we propose a performance-based approach that partitions loop iterations according to the performance weighting of cluster nodes. Because the iterations assigned to one MPI process will be processed in parallel by OpenMP threads running by the processor cores in the same computational node, the number of loop iterations to be allocated to one computational node at each scheduling step also depends on the number of processor cores in that node. Experimental results show that the proposed approach performs better than previous schemes. © 2010 Springer-Verlag.
