Summary: This paper deals with computation of parallel degree, PARAdeg, for (dataflow) program nets with SWITCH-nodes. Ge et al. have given the definition of PARAdeg and an algorithm of computing PARAdeg for program nets with no SWITCH-nodes. However, for program nets with SWITCH-nodes, any algorithm of computing PARAdeg has not been proposed. We first show that it is intractable to compute PARAdeg for program nets with SWITCH-nodes. To do this, we define a subclass of program nets with SWITCH-nodes, named structured program nets, and then show that the decision problem related to compute PARAdeg for acyclic structured program nets is NP-complete. Next, we give a heuristic algorithm to compute PARAdeg for acyclic structured program nets. Finally, we do experiments to evaluate our heuristic algorithm for 200 acyclic structured program nets. We can say that the heuristic algorithm is reasonable, because its accuracy is more than 96% and the computation time can be greatly reduced. | ||||||||||
