Co-ordinating Heterogeneous Parallel Computation

There is a growing interest in heterogeneous high performance computing environments. These systems are diicult to program owing to the complexity of choosing the appropriate resource allocations and the diiculties in expressing these choices in traditional parallel languages. In this paper we propose a methodology for structured parallel programming using functional skeletons to express these ...

The program consists of several independent “advising” processes each using different chess knowledge to evaluate the position; each evaluator offers its advice to a coordinating process, that uses a selection policy to choose the move. We have built the advisors redistributing the knowledge included in a strong s...
