Parallelization of GSL on Clusters of Symmetric Multiprocessors

A performance-prediction model for PIC applications on clusters of Symmetric MultiProcessors: Validation with hierarchical HPF+OpenMP implementation

A performance-prediction model is presented, which describes different hierarchical workload decomposition strategies for particle in cell (PIC) codes on Clusters of Symmetric MultiProcessors. The devised workload decomposition is hierarchically structured: a higher-level decomposition among the computational nodes, and a lower-level one among the processors of each computational node. Several ...

Techniques for Module - Level Speculative Parallelization on Shared - Memory Multiprocessors Research Proposal

Multiprocessors have hit the mainstream and cover the whole spectrum of computational needs from small-scale symmetric multiprocessors to scalable distributed shared-memory systems with a few hundred processors. This has made it possible to boost the performance of a number of important applications from the numeric and database domain. Extending the scope of applications that can take advantag...

SIMPLE: A Methodology for Programming High Performance Algorithms on Clusters of Symmetric Multiprocessors

MPI-parallelized Radiance on SGI CoW and SMP

For lighting simulations in architecture there is the need for correct illumination calculation of virtual scenes. The Radiance Synthetic Imaging System delivers an excellent solution to that problem. Unfortunately, simulating complex scenes leads to long computation times even for one frame. This paper proposes a parallelization strategy which is suited for scenes with medium to high complexit...

Automatic parallelization of sequential code for a cluster of multiprocessors

In recent years parallel architectures have rapidly evolved to solve increasingly large problems, mainly because single processor based systems have reached the limit of their physical capacity. The end of 90’s has seen the growth and evolution of parallel architectures towards a cluster of multiprocessors owing to scaling problems with shared memory machines. The efficient use of such parallel...
