Abstract

Exemplary method, system, and computer program product embodiments for full exploitation of parallel processors for data processing are provided. In one embodiment, by way of example only, a set of parallel processors is partitioned into disjoint subsets according to indices of the set of the parallel processors. The size of each of the disjoint subsets corresponds to a number of processors assigned to the processing of the data chunks at one of the layers. A transition function is devised from the indices of the set of the parallel processors at one time steps to the indices of the set of the parallel processors at a following time step.
