[FTI90, KN91] Consider the multilevel work-distribution scheme that circumvents the subtask generation bottleneck of the single-level scheme through multiple-level subtask generation. In this scheme, processors are arranged in an m-ary tree of depth d. The task of top-level subtask generation is given to the root processor. It divides the task into super-subtasks and distributes them to its successor processors on demand. These processors subdivide the super-subtasks into subtasks and distribute them to successor processors on request. The leaf processors repeatedly request work from their parents as soon as they have finished their previous work. A leaf processor is allocated to another subtask generator when its designated subtask generator runs out of work. For d = 1, the multi- and single-level schemes are identical. Comment on the performance and scalability of this scheme.
