A Comparative Study of Parallel Programming Languages: The Salishan Problems by J.T. Feo Pdf

As execution speeds reach the physical limits of single cpu computers, the only hope of achieving greater computing power is with parallel systems. Researchers have proposed countless new programming languages, but their differences, similarities, strengths, weaknesses and problem domains are subtle and often not well understood. Informed comparison of parallel languages is difficult. This volume compares eight parallel programming languages based on solutions to four problems. Each chapter includes a description of the language's philosophy, semantics and syntax, and a solution to each problem. By considering solutions rather than language features or theoretical properties, the gap is bridged between the language specialists and users. Both professionals and students in the fields of computer and computational science will find the discussions helpful and understandable.

Annual Review of Scalable Computing by Yuen Chung Kwong Pdf

This book contains four review articles in the area of scalable computing. Two of the articles discuss methods and tools for the parallel solution of irregular problems, which have been satisfactorily worked out in heterogeneous systems. One surveys the technology and applications of multimedia server clusters, which are playing an increasing role in the current networked environment. An additional article discusses SilkRoad, which adds distributed shared memory capabilities to the Cilk parallel programming system. Once again, the book represents a new set of steps forward in parallel systems.

Functions, Objects and Parallelism: Programming in Balinda K by Yuen Chung Kwong Pdf

Despite many years of research and development, parallel programming remains a difficult and specialized task. A simple but general model for parallel processing is still lacking. This book proposes a model that adds parallelism to functions and objects, allowing simple specification of both parallel execution and inter-process communication. Many examples of applying parallel programming are given. Contents:Parallel Programming: The Basic ConstructsFunctional ProgrammingProgramming with Parallel Functions and TuplesObjects in BaLinda KActive ObjectsApplication Case Studies — Stock Trading System and Salishan ProblemsReviewing the Progress Readership: Graduate and senior undergraduate students of computer science and computer engineering, and IT professionals working in a multiprocessing or distributed computing environment.

Programming Environments for Massively Parallel Distributed Systems by Karsten M. Decker,Rene M. Rehmann Pdf

Massively Parallel Systems (MPSs) with their scalable computation and storage space promises are becoming increasingly important for high-performance computing. The growing acceptance of MPSs in academia is clearly apparent. However, in industrial companies, their usage remains low. The programming of MPSs is still the big obstacle, and solving this software problem is sometimes referred to as one of the most challenging tasks of the 1990's. The 1994 working conference on "Programming Environments for Massively Parallel Systems" was the latest event of the working group WG 10.3 of the International Federation for Information Processing (IFIP) in this field. It succeeded the 1992 conference in Edinburgh on "Programming Environments for Parallel Computing". The research and development work discussed at the conference addresses the entire spectrum of software problems including virtual machines which are less cumbersome to program; more convenient programming models; advanced programming languages, and especially more sophisticated programming tools; but also algorithms and applications.

The Interaction of Compilation Technology and Computer Architecture by David J. Lilja,Peter L. Bird Pdf

In brief summary, the following results were presented in this work: • A linear time approach was developed to find register requirements for any specified CS schedule or filled MRT. • An algorithm was developed for finding register requirements for any kernel that has a dependence graph that is acyclic and has no data reuse on machines with depth independent instruction templates. • We presented an efficient method of estimating register requirements as a function of pipeline depth. • We developed a technique for efficiently finding bounds on register require ments as a function of pipeline depth. • Presented experimental data to verify these new techniques. • discussed some interesting design points for register file size on a number of different architectures.

User-Defined Tensor Data Analysis by Bin Dong,Kesheng Wu,Suren Byna Pdf

The SpringerBrief introduces FasTensor, a powerful parallel data programming model developed for big data applications. This book also provides a user's guide for installing and using FasTensor. FasTensor enables users to easily express many data analysis operations, which may come from neural networks, scientific computing, or queries from traditional database management systems (DBMS). FasTensor frees users from all underlying and tedious data management tasks, such as data partitioning, communication, and parallel execution. This SpringerBrief gives a high-level overview of the state-of-the-art in parallel data programming model and a motivation for the design of FasTensor. It illustrates the FasTensor application programming interface (API) with an abundance of examples and two real use cases from cutting edge scientific applications. FasTensor can achieve multiple orders of magnitude speedup over Spark and other peer systems in executing big data analysis operations. FasTensor makes programming for data analysis operations at large scale on supercomputers as productively and efficiently as possible. A complete reference of FasTensor includes its theoretical foundations, C++ implementation, and usage in applications. Scientists in domains such as physical and geosciences, who analyze large amounts of data will want to purchase this SpringerBrief. Data engineers who design and develop data analysis software and data scientists, and who use Spark or TensorFlow to perform data analyses, such as training a deep neural network will also find this SpringerBrief useful as a reference tool.
