Abstract
A system comprises a plurality of computation units interconnected by an interconnection network. A method for configuring the system comprises receiving subsets of instructions corresponding to different portions of a program, each subset assigned to one of the computation units; scheduling instructions in a given subset for execution on the assigned computation unit, including scheduling communication instructions that send to or receive from a different computation unit over the interconnection network; allocating registers in a given computation unit for storing values accessed by instructions in a subset assigned to the given computation unit; and scheduling instructions after allocating registers to account for spills of values stored in allocated register to memory, preserving the order of communication instructions scheduled before allocating registers.
