Architectural Models and Design Methodologies for General-purpose Highly-parallel Computers
نویسندگان
چکیده
We review the main research issues and problems in the area of general-purpose, massively parallel MIMD computers. It will be shown that the successful exploitation of this class of systems depends on the ability to deene and experiment with design methodol-ogies taking into account several aspects: abstract machine architecture, physical machine architecture, parallelizing and restructuring tools, and machine independent parallel languages. We report on our research experience in this area, and in particular our work in the Pisa Parallel Processing Project.

Imagination and its relation to creativity are among the most important issues related to the design category in various areas of architectural inquiry such as architectural design, whose function and role have changed in recent decades due to use and application of computers in the architectural design processes. Given all the changes occurred in the meaning and concept of architecture, by the...
متن کاملEfficient Linked List Ranking Algorithms and Parentheses Matching as a New Strategy for Parallel Algorithm Design
Parallel computing has become one of the major areas of research in the computer science field with numerous journals and conferences dedicated to its development. Multiprocessor computers (parallel computers) are becoming more prevalent, with several manufacturers and models readily available, several at quite low prices. However, while the hardware is progressing rapidly, the methodologies an...
متن کاملParallel Spatial Pyramid Match Kernel Algorithm for Object Recognition using a Cluster of Computers
This paper parallelizes the spatial pyramid match kernel (SPK) implementation. SPK is one of the most usable kernel methods, along with support vector machine classifier, with high accuracy in object recognition. MATLAB parallel computing toolbox has been used to parallelize SPK. In this implementation, MATLAB Message Passing Interface (MPI) functions and features included in the toolbox help u...
متن کاملHistory and Evolution of GPU Architecture A Paper Survey
The graphics processing unit (GPU) is a specialized and highly parallel microprocessor designed to offload and accelerate 2D or 3D rendering from the central processing unit (CPU). GPUs can be found in a wide range of systems, from desktops and laptops to mobile phones and super computers [3]. This paper provides a summary of the history and evolution of GPU hardware architecture. The informati...
متن کاملThe BSP Approach to Architecture Independent Parallel Programming
General purpose parallel computing systems come in a variety of forms. We have various kinds of distributed memory architectures, shared memory multiprocessors, and clusters of workstations. New technologies may increase this range still further. Can one hope to design portable and scalable parallel software in the face of such architectural diversity? In this paper we show that it is indeed po...
