Influence of variable time operations in static instruction scheduling

Instruction Scheduling is the task of deciding what instruction will be executed at which unit of time. The objective is to extract maximum instruction level parallelism for the code. Compilers designed for VLIW and EPIC architectures do static instruction scheduling in a back-end pass. This pass, k...

description Instruction Scheduling is the task of deciding what instruction will be executed at which unit of time. The objective is to extract maximum instruction level parallelism for the code. Compilers designed for VLIW and EPIC architectures do static instruction scheduling in a back-end pass.

But memory access instructions have a variable latency, depending on their locality and the memory hierarchy architecture. The scheduler must assume a constant value, usually the execution time assigned to a hit.
