Product Description
Product Description
28th studio album from the British singer-songwriter. Featuring 'Winter Wonderland', 'Silent Night' and 'White Christmas', Rod Stewart uses his famous husky tones to interpret these classic Christmas tunes.
Rarely are record reviews as pointless as this one. If you know how Rod Stewart sounds, and are aware of these songs' traditional arrangements (sole new number aside), then you already know what Merry Christmas, Baby has in store. And whether or not you're going to want to pick it up from one.
But we've a page to fill, and you're here anyway, so let's dig deeper. Stewart's voice is a crumbling, crackled thing, ideal for fireside serenades, so it's not surprising to find the former Faces frontman finally turning in a Christmas collection. He's lately found a well-fitting niche as a covers singer, too, having released Motown-tribute set Soulbook in 2009, in the middle of his Great American Songbook series. So Merry Christmas, Baby finds the singer safely within his contemporary comfort zone.
But what's more appropriate for the festive period than a selection that doesn't stray from the warmth of home? Merry Christmas, Baby ticks every one of the boxes typically accompanying releases of its kind. Does it pack its tracklist with a variety of seasonal standards? Check. Does it add some much-loved carols into the mix, performed with dignified deference? Indeed. And is there a new song, exclusive to the release, which – if we're all honest with ourselves – will likely be skipped past on the second Christmas Day listen? You betcha.
Red-Suited Super Man (yep, about Santa) is unlikely to join the pantheon of Christmas greats. But the Trombone Shorty-starring cut is at least swaggering, offering contrast to the more studious readings surrounding it. Which isn't to say the straightforward covers lack for quality: Rod's White Christmas is gorgeous, but then it's difficult to do too much of a disservice to Irving Berlin's malleable classic. Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas is stylish and elegant, too.
High-profile guests – Michael Bublé, Mary J Blige, Cee Lo Green – join Rod for a few numbers; but the 67-year-old, officially a crooner these days, never lets them steal the show. Merry Christmas, Baby is one man's gift to his fans. And, to a man, his fanbase is surely grateful.

Too many of the songs have been done so many times and appear on pretty well every Christmas release, which also makes this release one that does not rate anywhere among Rod's best, he doesn't do poor albums ever,this one though just lacks that special something I was expecting, but we do get a new rock album next spring so we don't have long to wait.
So an OK album, but nothing more than that,sorry!
They are all beautifully arranged and orchestrated and Rod's voice is marvellous (as ever) but I think it belongs in the Great American Songbook stable rather than anywhere else.
Don't get me wrong, on a first listen I thoroughly enjoyed it and willl, I'm sure, listen to it many more times over the next 6 weeks or so. But Christmas songs in the middle or summer won't really work.
But let's hope that it is a huge seller and sets the stage for his album of new songs due out in Spring 2013.
But lately Stewart's crooning caricatures have left me cold.
His Great American Songbook albums have sold about eleventy-squillion copies but they are not for me, thanks.
I love many of the songs, but I don't love Stewart's one-dimensional interpretations or his now thin and raspy deliveries.
Similarly, other than a fondness and appreciation for a seasonal classic such as Bing Crosby's definitive rendition of 'White Christmas,' I'm not sitting in front of the Yule log fire making a list - and checking it twice - of my favourite winter crooners or Christmas carols.
So a Christmas album from Rod Stewart, following the theme of his recent run of crooner standards, was always likely to leave me as cold as a winter frost.
The album was produced and arranged by David Foster but rather than breathe life into the chosen songs, Foster has created (for the most part) fairly simple, slow paced and light string arrangements.
There's the occasional swing tempo or flurry of jazz guitar notes, but there is no musical individuality or strong song identity.
All the usual suspects are here including 'Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas,' 'Silent Night' (complete with children's choir) and of course 'White Christmas,' which isn't going to knock Bing's version off the top of the snow-covered fir tree anytime soon.
And it wouldn't be a Christmas covers album without the obligatory duets...
'Winter Wonderland' features Michael Bublé whose natural crooning sensibilities put Stewart in the winter shade.Read more ›

My Review: Oh God give me the strength and power to be able to explain just how incredible this fic is!!!
*Holds in all the feels and tries to write a readable review*.
I've read this twice now and I'm still in awe of it's perfection. Seriously. I want to print this out and sit it next to my Harry Potter books as a HP side story. This isn't even a fic, it's a frickin novel and it's fantastic. Now I have read many a fanfic in my time; long ones, short ones, smutty ones, fluffy ones, odd ones, and even a few incesty ones. But this is just… Different? So when I first started reading this I (naively) thought it was a pretty normal Hogwarts-era fic. Harry and Draco have a secret love they must hide from everyone because they wouldn't approve blah blah blah. But this was just different somehow. There were so many little details that just make it so beautiful. The locker room, how they call it "downstairs", the drawings (forever in love with artist Draco), Cedric and Simon. Oh god Cedric, I loved that he was included in such detail. All these small things that later held do much importance, and discovering why.
Also I want to add, not every day you find fanfics that have so many eras, I mean this beautiful story contains 4ht year, 5th year, the painful 6th year, the trial era, the bloody 8th year, and even post-hogwarts, I'm sure there aren't many fanfics like this one in the whole universe… Oh and the trail and Post-Hogwarts was so painful; definitely what makes this fic stand out is its second half. I don't want to give any spoilers away but… well I wasn't expecting THAT! And the way it tied in so well with the books. Seriously cleaver how the books and movies became about Harry's obliviated self. I just can't even… This fic is what every Drarry fan is thinking when they read the books. THIS IS CANON I TELL YOU!!! My favourite fanfic of all time; I love it so much!! This is a must read. This should be required reading for all Drarry fans. I don't care if you don't like long fics, or Hogwarts era or whatever. This fic is the exception. I could go on forever about this fic (I think I already have). PLEASE READ THIS GOD DAMN PIECE OF EPICNESS AND BE AWAKENED TO THE GORGEOUSNESS OF DRARRY.
This is the most British thing I've ever seen.

In a new FAQ, the writers at OnlineAutoInsurance.com discuss how accruing points on a driving record can affect premium prices. Orlando, FL, February 01, 2011 --(PR.com)-- Many states' motor vehicle departments use point systems to track the number and severity of traffic incidents and violations involving resident drivers. And although the number of points assigned to particular types of violations will vary from state to state, one thing that they have in common is their potentially adverse effects on car insurance rates. The reason that points on a driving record will drive up insurance costs is they indicate to the insurer that the driver may have risky driving practices and may be more likely to get into accidents. In some states, though, violation points are not the only thing that can negatively impact insurance premiums. Auto insurance companies in Florida, for instance, will undoubtedly raise rates for a driver who has gotten a DUI, even though technically no points are issued for this violation. This is because those convicted of a DUI in the Sunshine State automatically have their licenses revoked, which an insurer is likely to be notified of. One state that offers a clear-cut view of how violation points will affect the cost of coverage is North Carolina. As part of that state's Safe Driver Incentive Plan (SDIP), more than two dozen types of incidents or infractions are assigned points with values between one and 12, and the total numbers of points are correlated with proportional premium increases. So a North Carolinian who causes an accident that results in bodily injury damages of $1,800 or less can know that one point will be added to their license, which brings with it a 25-percent increase in premiums. But if the damages totaled more than $1,800, three points will be tacked on to his or her history, which will bring with it a 60-percent increase. Points and corresponding rate increases are clearly laid out in the SDIP grid that can be viewed at http://bit.ly/ifEO66. To access the full FAQ regarding the point system, readers can go to http://www.onlineautoinsurance.com/florida/ and click on the "Questions" link in the upper right hand corner. ###

We Are Kindred Spirits Organics
It is an honor and privilege to be able to finally create a website which allows us to express our passion for our community's health and well-being. During a time when it seems humans are constantly battling illness and disease, our health has become the forefront of conversation in politics and around the dinner table.
It was around the year 1998 when we really became aware of the fact that some of our foods and food supplements were in the hands of large corporations who only have one mission, profits. We decided to take matters into our own hands and start spreading the word about not only eating organically but living organically. This means supporting local businesses, including farmers.
What started as a small town movement began to spread nationwide. Today, we see millions of people, ranging in all ages, reaccepting and valuing the idea of sustainable agriculture and supporting local, small business.
What Kindred Spirits Organics has to offer
Through this website, we will now be able to express and share our values of what Organic living means to us. We will be able to share inspirational stories of small farmers who have stuck with the ideals of true organic farming practices and who also practice sustainable agriculture.
What does "Organic" mean to us?
The term "Organic" has had an interesting metamorphosis over the years. What may mean organic to some does not necessarily what is reflected in a consumer market.
Through changes in farming techniques such as mass farming, farming families who once never even considered using pesticides or herbicides are now finding that large-scale agriculture is really difficult without them. However, this should not change what we consider organic.
True Organic gardening should be self-sustaining enough that the gardens themselves are able to fend off pests and molds by living in symbiosis with their surroundings. By rotating crops and being aware of which vegetables and herbs live well together, our food sources can be prepared to serve us with healthy, bountiful harvests.
Where can you start to live in the Kindred Spirit?
You do not have to start an organic garden today, but the idea should excite you. A really easy start is to buy your goods locally. This includes hardware goods, clothing, etc. Another great step in the organic direction is to find any local farms and buy produce from them. Ask them about their farming techniques and get to know the local farmers.
You'll be surprised to know that there are many local grocery stores where local farmers sell their produce also. You'll find that these vegetables tend to be fresher and taste better.
This will surely inspire you to want to start your own garden at home. Try to start with some tomatoes. They are pretty easy to grow and tend to have big yields. Take with your local nurseries to see what grows great in your area and what times of year are ideal. Typically the spring is planting time and veggies grow throughout the summer.
Whatever step you decide to take, Kindred Spirit Organics are here to support you along your way. If you have any questions please feel free to contact us at any time.
Peace. Love. Organic.

Everyone is going Great Gatsby crazy, and with such amazing 20's costumes I can see why… here are my picks of the high-street to recreate the look!
Dresses- Miss Selfridge
Shoes- Kurt Geiger
Head Band- Zara
Clutch Bag & Scarf- Reiss
Remember how "realistic" Rollins looked in that Wilden constume?
Just thought of something….
If Rollins could march around lookin like Wilden and has these realistic masks on…..Then maybe we have an answer as to what the fuck was up with Jason in season 4 when he was actin so fuckin sketchy!
We know Mary Drake was sniffing around in season 4 and we even had a flashback. I wonder if Jason was being weird about wanting help his mother more and she was there for him when no one else was when he relapsed was because that was actually Rollins dressed as Jason with a mask! Why else would sweetheart Jason, who's done nothing but help the girls since day one, all the sudden do a 180 like that? Cause maybe it wasn't him!
Also, the creepy stare he was giving Ali while she was fuckin sleeping in season 5! Who else could you see doing that to her other than the 'good ol' Doctor himself? The way he stares at Ali just looks so malicious and disturbing! I know Jason never saw eye to eye with Ali, but Jason was overly fuckin sketchy and weird in S5, suddenly caring about his mother (the way Rollins was always working with Mary) and all the sudden Rollins is known to run around with masks and shit on…This can't be a coincidence!
Remember Jason going into that sketchy building in Rosewood in the middle of the night when Hanna and Emily followed him? Why was Jason in New York? I can see Rollins following them to New York, but why would Jason? Maybe because it wasn't him….Maybe season 4 and a little bit of season 5 Jason was Rollins this whole time.
(I could be waaaay off with this, don't get me wrong! It was just a quick realization that I HAD to jot down! I mean, I've been so busy with work, I haven't even had time to watch barely any of this season yet! So if I'm wrong, just know haven't kept up in a couple weeks! lol)

Whole Foods to Label All GMO Products
All products sold at Whole Foods Market stores containing genetically modified organisms will clearly labeled within five years, the grocery chain has announced.
This makes the company the first national grocery chain to set a deadline for what it terms "full GMO transparency." Up to the 2018 deadline, Whole Foods says it will work in collaboration with its suppliers as they transition to sourcing non-GMO ingredients or to clearly labeling products with ingredients containing GMOs.
The five-year lead time is due to the complexities surrounding GMO products, the company says. The prevalence of GMOs in the US, coupled with a lack of labeling guidelines makes it very difficult for grocery stores to source non-GMO choices, according to Whole Foods.
Many of Whole Foods' suppliers are already moving toward non-GMO ingredients and, as such, the company expects to see progress much sooner than the five-year deadline.
For many years, the company has sourced its 365 Everyday Value products to avoid GMOs in their plant-based ingredients. In 2009, it began putting this line through the Non-GMO Project verification program and encouraged its grocery supplier partners to do the same. Whole Foods Market currently sells 3,300 Non-GMO Project verified products from 250 brands, more than any other retailer in North America, the company says.
A survey released this month by Market Dynamics LOHAS and Laz PR found that shoppers have moved past ingredient lists and are now focused on seeking out non-genetically modified and sustainable "farm to table" products. The survey showed that consumers are also increasing the money they spend on such products.
Reader Comments
I am very disappointed! I never knew that Whole food sells Products containing genetically modified organisms. This is a massive fraud. What is wrong this these people?

Lady Gaga sings with kids in Rio de Janeiro slum
Rio de Janeiro: Singer Lady Gaga Thursday played soccer and sang with children in a slum in Rio de Janeiro, where she is set to perform this week.
Lady Gaga visited Cantagalo, a "favela" (shantytown) located on a hill in Rio`s Copacabana neighbourhood just three blocks from the luxury beach hotel where she is staying.
The New York-born pop performer was outfitted in a light Japanese-style print robe, wore a pink wig and long false orange fingernails, according to media reports.
She played barefoot soccer with some of the kids in the slum, sang her number "Born this way" with dozens of the children and familiarized herself firsthand with the social project being undertaken in the area by Brazil`s Globo television in association with the UN Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization.
Gaga will sing Friday in Rio and two days later she will perform in Sao Paulo.

This Application is a continuing application, filed under 35 U.S.C. � 111(a), of International Application PCT/JP01/01532, filed on Feb. 28, 2001.
1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to a parallel process execution method, a multiprocessor computer, a parallel process execution program, and a storage medium storing that program. More particularly, the present invention relates to a parallel process execution method that executes parallel processes and other processes in a time-shared manner, a multiprocessor computer to perform that method, a parallel process execution program to make a computer perform that method, and a storage medium storing that program.
2. Description of the Related Art
A computer composed of a plurality of processors (multiprocessor computer) can execute a single program with a plurality of processors in a parallel fashion. Programs that can be executed in parallel will hereafter be called parallel programs. To execute a parallel program, a plurality of parallel processes are produced from it, which can run concurrently with each other. Those parallel processes produced are given to different processors for parallel execution. The processors accomplish a series of processing tasks encoded in the parallel program, exchanging data with each other. Here we use the term "process" to refer to a unit task containing at least one thread. By the term "processors," we mean processing elements which are known as, for example, central processing unit (CPU) or micro processing units (MPU). In the rest of this section, we use the term "CPU" to refer to such processing elements for reasons of expediency.
Parallel processes have some checkpoints at which each process communicate, or synchronize, with other related processes by exchanging data. Think of two CPUs executing parallel processes that involve each other's data. These two CPUs first proceed on their own until they reach a checkpoint and become ready to exchange their data. If one process has reached the checkpoint earlier than the other, the CPU of that process has to wait until the peer process also reaches the checkpoint. This situation of the former CPU is referred to as the synchronization wait state.
Besides the synchronization wait, data processing on a CPU involves other types of wait times such as those related to input/output (I/O) operations. If those CPU wait times can be used to execute other processes, it will contribute positively to the efficiency of the entire system. This idea is actually implemented in the following way: each CPU is configured to operate in time sharing mode, and when the current process on a CPU has entered a wait state, some other process is assigned to that CPU. This additional process may be a parallel process or a non-parallel process that is supposed to run on a single CPU.
Consider that, since one parallel process has reached a checkpoint for data exchange with a peer process, the CPU is now running some other process using the synchronization wait period that follows. It could happen in this situation that the CPU is still engaged in that extra process even if the peer parallel process has also reached the checkpoint, and if this is the case, the peer CPU has to wait for synchronization. Such synchronization wait times would cause a reduction in the efficiency of the computer system.
To address the above issue, a process scheduling method is disclosed in the Unexamined Japanese Patent Publication No. 10-74150 (1998), in which a time-sharing computer system is configured to cause all constituent CPUs to start and stop parallel processes and other processes simultaneously at predetermined unit intervals (called "phase"). That is, the CPUs execute a plurality of parallel processes produced from a certain parallel program, stating and stopping them all at the same time. While synchronization wait times may arise in the course of parallel processes, the disclosed method keeps their time length equal to that in the case without time sharing. As a result, it minimizes the amount of waiting time for synchronization between parallel processes constituting a parallel program, thus preventing the system's efficiency from decreasing.
Meanwhile, some kinds of computer processes require that their turnaround time (the time from start to complete) be guaranteed. One example of such processes is weather data analysis. This process has to analyze a huge amount of weather data in a limited time frame, i.e., a predetermined time before scheduled delivery of a new piece of weather forecast information.
The process scheduling method proposed in the above-mentioned publication, however, is unable to provide guaranteed turnaround time for each parallel program because of its fixed-length phase. For example, there may be such a parallel program that would need 50 percent of the computation power of a multiprocessor computer to ensure its required turnaround time. The above-described process scheduling method can only allocate one phase (e.g., 10 percent) of time resources to that parallel program and thus is unable to guarantee the turnaround time.
In view of the foregoing, it is an object of the present invention to provide a parallel process execution method, as well as a multiprocessor computer, a parallel process execution program, and a storage medium storing that program, that can allocate CPU time for each parallel process at a desired ratio.
To accomplish the above object, according to the present invention, there is provided a parallel process execution method with which a plurality of processors execute a plurality of parallel processes produced from a parallel program together with other processes in a time-shared fashion. This method comprising the following steps: (a) setting a time allocation ratio that determines how much of a given cycle period should be allocated for execution of the parallel program; (b) assigning each parallel process of the parallel program to one of the plurality of processors, and starting execution of the assigned parallel processes simultaneously on the plurality of processors; and (c) stopping the execution of the assigned parallel processes simultaneously on the plurality of processors, when the time elapsed since the start of the parallel processes has reached a point that corresponds to the time allocation ratio that has been set to the parallel program to allocate the given cycle period.
The above and other objects, features and advantages of the present invention will become apparent from the following description when taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings which illustrate preferred embodiments of the present invention by way of example.
Preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings, wherein like reference numerals refer to like elements throughout.
First of all, each parallel program A and B is given a time allocation ratio as shown in
Subsequently, process switching operations take place between one group of parallel processes A1 to A4 and the other group of parallel processes B1 to B4 according to the time allocation ratios assigned to their original parallel programs A and B (step S2). During this process switching, the first group of parallel processes A1 to A4 run concurrently on their respective processors, being started at the same time. When the time elapsed since the start of those parallel processes A1 to A4 has reached the point defined by the time allocation ratio (30%) of the parallel program A, within the given cycle period, the processors 1 to 4 stop the parallel processes A1 to A4 all together.
Now that the parallel processes A1 to A4 have stopped at a time, the processors 1 to 4 now begin to run the second group of parallel processes B1 to B4. When the time elapsed since the start of those parallel processes B1 to B4 has reached the point defined by the time allocation ratio (70%) of the parallel program B, within the given cycle period, the processors 1 to 4 stop the parallel processes B1 to B4 all together.
The processors 1 to 4 exchange data with each other as necessary, during the course of execution of a plurality of parallel processes produced from each single parallel program.
As can be seen from the above, the present invention permits a time-sharing multiprocessor computer to set any desired time allocation ratios for parallel processes produced from each parallel program. The present invention allocates fractions of the given cycle time to parallel processes in proportion to their time allocation ratio, thereby ensuring the turnaround. In addition, parallel processes produced from a single parallel program are controlled such that they will start at the same time and stop at the same time. This prevents the parallel processes from experiencing increased synchronization wait times, which would otherwise occur in exchanging data when the time sharing technique is applied.
The following is a more specific explanation of the embodiment of the present invention. In the following explanation, we use the term "CPUs" to refer to the processors mentioned above.
The RAM 20 temporarily stores at least a part of operating system (OS) programs, as well as at least a part of parallel programs that the CPU 11 executes. Also, the RAM 20 stores data such as time slot allocation maps. The HDD 15 stores OS programs, parallel programs, non-parallel programs, and the like. Data necessary for execution of those various programs is also stored in the HDD 15. A monitor 21 is connected to the graphics processor 16. The graphics processor 16 produces and displays images on the screen of the monitor 21 according to the commands from the CPUs 11 to 14. A keyboard 22 and mouse 23 are connected to the input device interface 17. The input device interface 17 receives signals from the keyboard 22 and mouse 23 and supplies them to the CPUs 11 to 14 over the bus 19. The communication interface 18 is connected to a network 24, which is a wide area network such as the Internet. The network interface 18 allows the computer 10 to exchange data with other computers on the network.
The processing functions of the present embodiment are implemented on a hardware platform with the above-described structure. For example, when the computer shown in
The time slot allocation map 31 contains such data that defines a schedule of coordinated operations of multiple CPUs in process execution. The user can formulate a desired computation schedule through some data input operations for this time slot allocation map 31. Entries registered in this time slot allocation map 31 show which process each CPU is supposed to execute in each time slot. The CPUs #0 to #3 consult this time slot allocation map 31 to know which process is assigned to them in the current slot. More details about the time slot allocation map 31 will be given in a later section.
The definition file 32 includes the information on scheduling policies that provide a set of criteria in determining how to use time slots to which no processes are assigned in the time slot allocation map 31. Such scheduling policies include, for example, throughput-first policy and turnaround-first policy. Through data input operations, the user can choose his/her desired scheduling policy for use in process switching.
Throughput-first policy tries to maximize the throughput (the amount of processing per unit time) of the entire system. With this policy, CPUs execute some appropriate processes using time slots that have no processes allocated (called "free time slots") in an attempt to reduce their idle time as much as possible. The present embodiment assumes the following priorities of processes when executing them: interactive processes>non-parallel processes>parallel processes.
Turnaround-first policy, on the other hand, is a policy that tries to ensure the turnaround of a given parallel program. With this turnaround-first policy, the CPU usage of each process is restricted not to exceed its pre-assigned CPU allocation ratio. That is, no batch processes (neither parallel processes nor non-parallel processes) are allowed to run in a time slot that has no processes being allocated.
The time table 33 provides such data in table form that defines the starting time of each time slot relative to the beginning of the cycle period. The details of this time table 33 will be described later.
The GUI 34 parses input signals sent from the keyboard 22, mouse 23, or other input devices and produces various commands from them. The GUI 34 then sends the produced control commands to the process execution unit 36 to invoke an interactive process in it. Another task of the GUI 34 is to receive information from the process execution unit 36 and display it on the monitor 21.
The programs 35 include parallel programs and non-parallel programs. Parallel programs can be executed in parallel by a plurality of CPUs. Non-parallel programs are intended for execution on a single CPU. Each of those programs 35 is loaded, wholly or partly, from the HDD 15 to the RAM 20, for example.
The process execution unit 36 produces processes (parallel processes and non-parallel processes), based on the programs 35 and the commands sent from the GUI 34, and executes the produced processes in a time-shared fashion. The process execution unit 36 also communicates with other CPU's process execution unit to exchange data when their ongoing parallel processes have reached a checkpoint where a data exchange operation (synchronization) has to take place.
The process switching unit 37 controls switching of processes being executed by the process execution unit 36. More specifically, the process switching unit 37 looks up the time table 33 to determine the start time of a time slot, and when the start time is reached, it determines which processes to execute in that time slot by consulting the time slot allocation map 31.
In the case the time slot allocation map 31 shows no particular process allocated in the time slot that is coming, the process switching unit 37 first refers to the definition file 32. According to the current scheduling policy found in the definition file 32, the process switching unit 37 then determines which processes to execute in the upcoming time slot. Once it has determined the process for the upcoming time slot, the process switching unit 37 makes the process execution unit 36 stop the current process and performs context switching. That is, it saves the context of the current process that the process execution unit 36 has executed so far and supplies the process execution unit 36 with a new context that the next process requires in its execution. The context data 38 are control information that is necessary to execute or resume each individual process. Each set of context data 38 includes such a piece of information as the program counter value at the time when a process is interrupted.
More specifically, the first three time slots #0 to 2 of all CPUs #0 to #3 are assigned parallel processes that are produced from a first parallel program A. In the subsequent two time slots #3 and #4, two CPUs #0 and #1 are assigned parallel processes produced from a second parallel program B, while the other CPUs #2 and #3 are assigned different parallel processes produced from a third parallel program C. In the next time slot #5, the CPUs #0 and #1 are assigned parallel processes produced from a fourth parallel program D, and the CPU #2 is assigned a non-parallel process produced from a non-parallel program E. No process is assigned to the CPU #3 in this time slot #5, which is thus referred to as a free time slot. In the subsequent three time slots #6 to #8, all CPUs #0 to #3 are assigned parallel processes produced from a sixth parallel program F. In time slot #9, interactive processes T are assigned to all CPUs #0 to #3. In such a time slot with interactive processes, a plurality of interactive processes produced on the operating system are executed in the order of priority.
In the example of
The time elapses in the CPUs since the start of a single cycle period. Each time it reaches the time corresponding to the time offset of a certain time slot, the time slot allocation map is referenced. A process switching operation takes place if the process that is scheduled to run in the next time slot is different from the current one. This is accomplished by changing the arrangement of process priorities.
At every transition from one time slot to another, each CPU determines whether there is a process to execute in the next time slot, and if there is, it sets the priority of that process to the highest level (H), while changing those of other non-executing batch processes to the lowest level (L).
The example of
In time-sharing, the CPU executes one of the processes that has the highest priority at the time of process switching. Accordingly, in the example of
The priorities of all processes stay unchanged at the start point of time slot #1, as well as at the start point of time slot #2, which permits the parallel process A1 to keep on running also in those two consecutive time slots #1 and #2. In this way, 30 percent of the cycle period is consumed by the parallel process A1.
At the start point of time slot #3, the priority of the parallel process A1 is set to the lowest (L), and that of another parallel process B1 is raised to the highest (H). The priorities of the other parallel processes remain unchanged. As a result, the CPU #0 executes the parallel process B1 in time slot #3. Since no processes change their priorities at the start point of time slot #4, the parallel process B1 keeps running in that time slot #4. In this way, 20 percent of the cycle period is consumed by the parallel process B1.
When the next time slot #5 begins, the parallel process B1 is given the lowest priority level (L), and instead, another parallel process D1 is raised to the highest (H). The other parallel processes remain in the same priority levels as before. Accordingly, the CPU #0 executes the parallel process D1 in time slot #5. In this way, 10 percent of the cycle period is consumed by the parallel process D1.
When the time slot is transitioned to #6, the priority of the parallel process D1 is set to the lowest (L), and the highest priority (H) is handed down to still another parallel process F1. This makes the CPU #0 execute the parallel process F1 in time slot #6. Since the processes do not change their priorities at the start point of time slot #7, nor of time slot #8, the same parallel process F1 occupies those two time slots #7 and #8 as well. In this way, 30 percent of the cycle period is consumed by the parallel process F1.
Now the final time slot #9 comes. The priority of the parallel process F1 is returned to the lowest (L), while the other parallel processes remain unchanged. The CPU #0 then executes interactive processes T, because their priority has become the highest in time slot #9. In this way, 10 percent of the cycle period is shared by the interactive processes T.
The priority of each process can be varied for each time slot in the way described above, thus enabling processes to be switched according to a given time slot allocation map and scheduling policy. Suppose here that a turnaround-first policy has been given as the current scheduling policy. In this case, a dummy idle process with a priority of (L+1) is produced (step S13), and batch processes are given the lowest priority (L) in free time slots (step S22). As a result, interactive processes will be allowed to run if they exist, and if there are no such interactive processes, then the dummy idle process will gain the time slot instead. This eventually inhibits any effective batch processes from being executed in vacant time slots.
When, on the other hand, throughput-first policy is specified as the scheduling policy, non-parallel processes are given a priority of (L+1), immediately above the lowest (L), in free time slots (step S21), while parallel processes are set to the lowest priority (L) (step S22). As a result, interactive processes with a priority level in the range of (L+2) to (H−1) would be able to run if they exist. If there are no such interactive processes, then any existing non-parallel process would be executed instead. That is, the processes are prioritized in the following order: interactive processes, non-parallel processes, and parallel processes.
The next two time slots #3 and #4 are 20 percent of the cycle period. During this period, the CPUs #0 and #1 execute a pair of parallel processes B1 and B2, and the CPUs #2 and #3 execute another pair of parallel processes C1 and C2. Here, the parallel processes B1 and B2 are both batch processes produced from a parallel program B. Likewise, the parallel process C1 and C2 are both batch processes produced from a parallel program C.
During the period of time slot #5, which is 10 percent of the cycle period, the CPUs #0 and #1 execute a pair of parallel processes D1 and D2, while the CPU #2 executes a non-parallel process E1. The CPU #3, on the other hand, executes a process X that has been determined according to the scheduling policy. Here, the parallel processes D1 and D2 are both batch processes produced from a parallel program D, and the non-parallel process E1 is a batch process produced from a non-parallel program E.
The subsequent three time slots #6 to #8 share 30 percent of the cycle period. The four CPUs #0 to #3 execute a set of parallel processes F1 to
As can be seen from the above example, the time allocation ratio of each process can be freely specified for individual CPUs, which enables parallel programs to be executed with appropriate time allocation ratios as desired by the customers. In the next section, we will show several examples of time allocation ratios set for given processes. Specifically, the following examples assume a parallel program A which requires so much computation that four fully-dedicated parallel CPUs would need one day to finish it. They also assume another parallel program B which requires so much computation that four fully-dedicated parallel CPUs would need four days to finish it.
The two parallel programs A and B start at the same time as shown in
The two parallel programs A and B start at the same time. In the case shown in
The two parallel programs A and B start at the same time. In the case shown in
In the following section, we will now explain how differently the processes are switched, depending on what scheduling policy is taken.
In the example of
In the example of
Further, during the same period of time slots #5 to #9, the fourth CPU #3 continue to execute the parallel process A4 produced from the parallel program A. The parallel process A4, however, has a check point where it needs to exchange some data with (or synchronize itself with) other parallel processes. When such a checkpoint is reached during this period, the CPU #3 enters a wait state in which it has to synchronize. It cannot leave this state until the next cycle in which the other CPUs #0 to #2 become ready to communicate with the CPU #3 as a result of the progress of their execution of parallel processes A1 to A3.
As can be seen from the above example, the throughput-first policy allows parallel processes to use free time slots unless there are no pending non-parallel processes or interactive processes. This policy thus improves the efficiency (throughput) of the system as a whole. It should be noted, however, that the time consumed by a parallel process in waiting synchronization has to be accounted as part of the processing time of that parallel process. That is, in the case the customers of a server computer are billed according to the CPU time used by them, they would have to pay for the time in which the CPU is only repeating a loop for waiting synchronization. This means that, even if the same parallel program is executed, the charge may vary depending on whether or not there are free time slots on the schedule. To address the above issue, the turnaround-first policy is to be chosen when customers wish to pay the same fee for the same parallel program. The turnaround-first policy can also be the choice of customers who wish guaranteed turnaround.
In the example of
In the next section, we will describe an example of parallel processing using a plurality of computers (hereafter, "nodes").
The coordination controller 100 controls coordinated operations among distributed nodes. For instance, the coordination controller 100 transfers data from one node to another. Also, the coordination controller 100 delivers an interrupt signal to each node for the purpose of synchronization when the system starts up.
The interrupt notifiers 201 and 301 receive an interrupt signal from the coordination controller 100 and notifies predetermined CPUs in their respective nodes of that interrupt signal. For example, one interrupt notifier 201, which is connected to the node 200, notifies the CPU 211 of such an interrupt signal. The other interrupt notifier 301, which is connected to the node 300, notifies the CPU 311 of such an interrupt signal. When an interrupt signal is indicated, the receiving CPUs 211 and 311 at the nodes 200 and 300 initialize their time slots and schedule their local CPU interrupts in their respective nodes.
As can be seen from the above steps, simultaneous interrupts occur to all CPUs in each node as scheduled beforehand, which commences the cycle of time slot switching tasks.
The above-described system synchronizes a plurality of nodes in time slot switching, making it possible for those nodes to execute parallel processes produced from a parallel program in a distributed manner. If there was no synchronization mechanism for time slot switching, parallel processes derived from a parallel program could be executed in separate nodes at different times. This means that some parallel processes running on different nodes could experience an intolerable amount of synchronization wait time in exchanging data with each other. Synchronization of time slot switching operations solves the above problem since it causes every parallel process to start at the same time in a plurality of distributed nodes, as well as complete execution at the same time. This makes it possible to minimize the amount of synchronization wait time that is associated with data exchange operations.
As can be seen from the above explanation, according to one embodiment of the present invention, the CPU time can be divided for execution of parallel programs at any desired time allocation ratio, which enables the system to guarantee the turnaround time. This guaranteed turnaround time is beneficial when we need to run the same program repeatedly at regular intervals, because that program can always complete within a known time period, regardless of whether any other programs are running together. If it is possible to estimate the completion time of a job, we can proceed to the next work as scheduled, using the result of that first job. Think of, for example, data processing for weather forecasts. The proposed system can always finish the analysis of weather data a predetermined time before the scheduled release of new weather forecast information, no matter how the system is burdened with other jobs.
The capability of allocating CPU time for parallel programs at desired time allocation ratios further enables us to give different weights to different batch processes. That is, important batch processes will be allocated a larger CPU time ratio. This allows those important batch processes to complete earlier than less important ones. As another possible application, we will be able to make a time-consuming batch process finish concurrently with other batch processes.
The present invention also permits interactive processes to use their dedicated time slots, ensuring that they can run at regular intervals. Without this capability, batch processes are executed in the first place in every time slot when all time slots are assigned to batch processes (e.g., parallel processes). This forces interactive processes to wait until all the ongoing batch processes are finished. The present embodiment provides particular time slots for interactive processes, in which the priority of batch processes is set to the lowest level. This feature guarantees the ratio of CPU time that is allocated to interactive processes as a whole.
Also, according to the present embodiment, we can choose a desired scheduling policy, either throughput-first or turnaround-first policy. With this feature, we can put a higher priority to the throughput or turnaround, depending on the actual customer needs. More specifically, the present embodiment allows us to specify, to the system as a whole, whether to run parallel processes in a free time slot where no processes are assigned.
For example, throughput-first policy would be selected if the customer does not care much about the charge and if the system mainly handles such parallel processes that do not need synchronization too often. In this case, either process is executed using free time slots. The total system throughput becomes higher with this policy. Also, when determining which process to assign to an available vacant time slot, the system prioritizes pending processes in the following order: interactive processes, non-parallel processes, and parallel processes. This means that the process assigned to such a vacant slot is less likely to enter a synchronization wait state.
On the other hand, in the case the system mainly executes such parallel processes that need frequent synchronization operations, running parallel processes in unassigned time slots is nothing but a waste of CPU power. It brings no gain in the total system throughput, and in addition, it invites deviation in the amount of charge that is to be billed. The turnaround-first policy is appropriate in those cases, which avoids running parallel processes in free time slots and thus prevents CPU power from being wasted.
The present invention further provides synchronization of time slot cycles between a plurality of CPUs when they are distributed over a plurality of nodes. Those nodes execute a plurality of parallel process produced from a single parallel program, and the synchronized time slot timings minimize the chance for the parallel processes to encounter synchronization wait, as small as that in the case they are executed together in a single node. That is, the present invention prevents the efficiency of computation from being reduced as a result of parallel processing over a plurality of nodes.
In an earlier section, we have described parallel processing with a multiple-CPU system, in which CPUs are arranged to operate in a coordinated way by executing processes according to a given schedule. It is also possible to schedule coordinated operations between a plurality of threads if they are in a single node. In other words, we can provide an allocation map for scheduling time slots in such a way that the CPUs will be assigned a task, one thread for each.
The processing functions that we have described above are encoded in a computer program, which is stored in a computer-readable storage medium. A computer executes this program to provide the functions described above. Such computer-readable storage media include magnetic storage devices and semiconductor memory devices. Portable storage media, such as compact disk read-only memory (CD-ROM) and floppy disks, are suitable for circulation purposes. Further, the program may be stored in a storage device of a computer that is deployed on a network for distribution to other computers over the network. Such programs are normally installed in a computer's hard disk drive or other storage device, which can be executed after being loaded to the main memory.
As can be seen from the above discussion, according to the present invention, an appropriate time allocation ratio is set to a parallel program, which enables parallel processes start simultaneously on the plurality of processors. When the elapsed time has reached a point that corresponds to the time allocation ratio, the parallel processes are stopped simultaneously. This mechanism enables us to allocate the processor time for execution of parallel programs at any desired time allocation ratio, thus making it possible to guarantee the turnaround time.
The foregoing is considered as illustrative only of the principles of the present invention. Further, since numerous modifications and changes will readily occur to those skilled in the art, it is not desired to limit the invention to the exact construction and applications shown and described, and accordingly, all suitable modifications and equivalents may be regarded as falling within the scope of the invention in the appended claims and their equivalents.
