Abstract :
Data locality is one of the most important factors which dictate application efficiency on multiple instruction multiple data (MIMD) parallel computers. Given the architecture of a microprocessor and distributed memory, the nonuniform memory access aspects of these machines are becoming more and more of an issue. The approach of letting the locality of the data determine the processor on which work is done has shown significant promise
