1 Implementation of the RASSP SAR Benchmark on the Intel Paragon
نویسندگان
چکیده
A software design process for mapping real-time applications onto massively parallel processors is described. The design methodology incorporates a software test bench used to evaluate the level of real-time performance the processing nodes are capable of delivering. The final integration step maintains the simple test bench interfaces and reduces the complexity of integrating the components to satisfy the timing requirements of the overall application. The process is applied to implement the RASSP SAR benchmark on an Intel Paragon. The initial implementation uses 12 Paragon GP nodes for a single polarization. Under OSF/1 this 12 node configuration satisfies all the real-time requirements. Under SUNMOS, a streamlined high performance operating system available on the Paragon, the throughput improves significantly with sustained processor utilization approaching 40%. A projected implementation of the RASSP SAR benchmark on the Embedded Touchstone suggests that all three polarizations can be processed (including I/O) using 14 out of its 16 MP nodes.

Benchmarking UHGROMOS
Porting of the parallel Fortran preprocessor, Pfortran, to Intel Corporation and IBM Corporation massively parallel processor machines is presented. The machines include the Intel iPSC/SSO, the Caltech Intel DELTA, the Intel Paragon, and the IBM SPl. The UHGROMOS molecular dynamics program, a version of GROMOS ported to parallel machines through the use of Pfortran, was used as a test applicati...

pC++ is a language extension to C++ designed to allow programmers to compose \concurrent aggregate" collection classes which can be aligned and distributed over the memory hierarchy of a parallel machine in a manner modeled on the High Performance Fortran Forum (HPFF) directives for Fortran 90. pC++ allows the user to write portable and eecient code which will run on a wide range of scalable pa...
متن کاملParallel Molecular Dynamics Algorithms for Simulation of Molecular Systems
Three classes of parallel algorithms for short{range classical molecular dynamics are presented and contrasted and their suitability for simulation of molecular systems is discussed. Performance of the algorithms on the Intel Paragon and Cray T3D in benchmark simulations of Lennard{Jones systems and of a macromolecular system is also highlighted.
