Code generation techniques for the task-parallel programming language Spar

چکیده
In this paper we describe a compilation scheme to translate implicitly parallel programs in the programming language Spar (an extension to Java) to efficient code for distributed-memory parallel computer systems. The compilation scheme is formulated as a set of transformation rules. In Spar, the language constructs for parallelization have been designed for comfortable use by the programmer, not for ease of compilation. Nevertheless, it is shown that the basic translation and optimization schemes can be implemented with a surprisingly small set of transformation rules. The paper discusses the systematic translation of Spar programs into parallel code by using these rules.

Task Parallelism in Spar
In this paper we will give a small introduction to Spar, a programming language for semi-automatic parallel programming. Spar, a Java derivative is being developed as part of the Automap project, which aims to create completely automatic mappings for code and data at either compile time or runtime. We will present how Spar supports task-parallel programming and how it interacts with the user or...
متن کاملSPar: A DSL for High-Level and Productive Stream Parallelism
This paper introduces SPar, an internal C++ Domain-Specific Language (DSL) that supports the development of classic stream parallel applications. The DSL uses standard C++ attributes to introduce annotations tagging the notable components of stream parallel applications: stream sources and stream processing stages. A set of tools process SPar code (C++ annotated code using the SPar attributes) ...
متن کاملDomain-specific language & support tools for high-level stream parallelism
Stream-based systems are representative of several different application domains including video, networking, audio, graphic processing, etc. Stream parallel programs may run on different kinds of parallel architectures (desktop, servers, cell phones, and supercomputers) and represent significant workloads on our current computing systems. Nevertheless, most of them are still not parallelized. ...
متن کاملAutomatic Generation of a Multi Agent System for Crisis Management by a Model Driven Approach
Considering the increasing occurrences of unexpected events and the need for pre-crisis planning in order to reduce risks and losses, modeling instant response environments is needed more than ever. Modeling may lead to more careful planning for crisis-response operations, such as team formation, task assignment, and doing the task by teams. A common challenge in this way is that the model shou...
متن کاملThe Spar/Java Programming Language
In recent years, embedded systems with multiple processors have become increasingly important. These systems often consistof a general-purpose processor and one, oreven several, digital signal processors (DSPs). For portability, flexibility, and robustness it is often useful to regard such a cluster as a single, parallel, system. Since such a system contains several types of processors, it is s...
