Abstract
A procedure identifies a program image and generates a basic block flow graph associated with the program image. Execution of the program image is benchmarked and the basic block flow graph is annotated with the results of the benchmarking of the program image. Basic blocks of the program are then grouped into bins. When the program image is executed, a drafting scheduler stops threads before they leave a bin and schedules any threads queued for the same bin.
