A high level language for the RAPID-2 massively parallel accelerator board
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we present an abstract model of the RAPID-2 SIMD architecture. RAPID-2 is a massively parallel add-on board for PCs. It implements a "paginated set-associative" model of architecture, and has systolic capabilities. The L1 language implements the abstract model. L1 is a co-specification language for the programming and micro-programming of RAPID-2. It is derived from C. In order to check their semantic, L1 programs can be emulated in a C++ environment. In the near future, they should be compiled into C application programs and the corresponding microprograms.

RACER - A Rapid Prototyping Accelerator for Pulsed Neural Networks
In this extended abstract we sketch the employment of programmable logicfor the acceleration of the simulation of pulsed neural networks. We compare our approach to solutions which are based on DSPs and digital neuroprocessors. Our solution is a rapid prototyping accelerator board which is based on a data flow concept. The accelerator provides three module sockets with a rather simple 32Bit int...
متن کاملNew data-parallel language features for sparse matrix computations
High-level data-parallel languages such as Vienna Fortran and High Performance Fortran (HPF) have been introduced to allow the programming of massively parallel distributed-memory machines at a relatively high level of abstraction, based on the Single-Program-Multiple-Data (SPMD) paradigm. Their main features include mechanisms for expressing the distribution of data across the processors of a ...
متن کاملEffect of 2-phenoxyethanol anesthesia on some haematological and biochemical indices of silver carp (Hypophthalmichthysmolitrix)
In this study, the anesthetic effects of 2-phenoxyethanol (2-PE) on possible primary (cortisol level) and secondary (haematological indices and glucose level) stress responses were studied in silver carp (Hypophthalmichthys molitrix). Fish were first exposed to 0.1, 0.3, 0.5, 0.7 and 0.9 mL/L 2-PE, also the time to induction (deep anesthesia) and recovery were measured. At concentrations of 0.5, ...
متن کاملParallel Curved Mesh Adaptation for Large Scale High-Order Finite Element Simulations
This paper presents the development of a parallel adaptive mesh control procedure designed to operate with high-order finite element analysis packages to enable large scale automated simulations on massively parallel computers. The curved mesh adaptation procedure uses curved entity mesh modification operations. Applications of the curved mesh adaptation procedure have been developed to support...
متن کاملCGiS: high-level data-parallel GPU programming
In the last few years, PC technology underwent a paradigm shift. The current trend leads aways from raising sequential performance to enhancing the available parallelism. The rapid performance increase of Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) is a part of this trend. However, it is difficult to harness the computational potential because for the longest time GPUs could be directed only through graph...
