An improved scheduling technique for software pipelining is disclosed which is designed, to find schedules requiring fewer processor clock cycles and reduce register pressure hot spots, when scheduling multiple groups of instructions (e.g. as represented by multiple sub-graphs of a, DDG) which are independent and substantially identical. The improvement in instruction, scheduling and reduction of hot spots is achieved by evenly distributing such groups of, instructions around the schedule for a given loop.

Why it's free to use
- Filed August 8, 2003. No grant is recorded for it in Canada; had it been granted, its 20-year term would have ended August 8, 2023.
- A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by August 8, 2025.
- We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
