Compiler Technology for Parallel Scientiic Computation

There is a need for compiler technology that, given the source program, will generate eecient parallel codes for diierent architectures with minimal user involvement. Parallel computation is becoming indispensable in solving large-scale problems in science and engineering. Yet, the use of parallel computation is limited by the high costs of developing the needed software. To overcome this diicu...

Compiler Technology for Machine-Independent Parallel Programming

Historically, the principal achievement of compiler technology has been to make it possible to program in a high-level, machine-independent style. The absence of compiler technology to provide such a style for parallel computers is the main reason these systems have not found widespread acceptance. This paper examines the prospects for machineindependent parallel programming, concentrating on F...

Neural Compiler Technology for a Parallel Architecture

This paper presents a software development environment which extracts the ne-grain parallelism implicit in an algorithm (in particular, from neural network descriptions) in order to generate a parallel program from conventional source code for MIMD architectures with distributed memory. The resulting programs are scheduled at compile time so that every data transfer is expected by its recipient...

BEOWULF: A Parallel Workstation for Scientific Computation

{ Network-of-Workstations technology is applied to the challenge of implementing very high performance workstations for Earth and space science applications. The Beowulf parallel workstation employs 16 PC-based processing modules integrated with multiple Ether-net networks. Large disk capacity and high disk to memory bandwidth is achieved through the use of a hard disk and controller for each p...
