This book was released on 2014-06-28 with total page 323 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Papers presented within this volume cover a wide range of topics related to programming distributed memory machines. Distributed memory architectures, although having the potential to supply the very high levels of performance required to support future computing needs, present awkward programming problems. The major issue is to design methods which enable compilers to generate efficient distributed memory programs from relatively machine independent program specifications. This book is the compilation of papers describing a wide range of research efforts aimed at easing the task of programming distributed memory machines.

This book was released on 1988 with total page 18 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: "We describe a new approach to programming distributed-memory computers. Rather than having each node in the system explicitly programmed, we derive an efficient message-passing program from a sequential shared-memory program associated with directions on how elements of shared arrays are distributed to processors. This article describes one possible input language for describing distributions and then details the compilation process and the optimizations necessary to generate an efficient program."

This book was released on 1989 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Current languages for nonshared memory architectures provide a relative low-level programming environment. In this paper we describe a set of primitives which allow the programmer to express data-parallel algorithms at a higher level, while also permitting control over those aspects of the program critical to performance, such as load balance and data distribution. Given such a program specification, the compiler automatically generates a distributed program containing send and receive constructs to perform interprocess communication.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: "Distributed memory machines do not provide hardware support for a global address space. Thus programmers are forced to partition the data across the memories of the architecture and use explicit message passing to communicate data between processors. In this paper we focus on the compiler support required to allow programmers to express their algorithms using a global name-space. We present a general method for analysis of a high level source program and its translation to a set of independently executing tasks communicating via messages. If the compiler has enough information, this translation can be carried out at compile-time. Otherwise run-time code is generated to implement the required data movement. We describe the analysis required in both situations and present the performance of the generated code on the Intel iPSC/2."

Thus programmers are forced to partition the data across the memories of the architecture and use explicit message passing to communicate data between processors. The compiler support required to allow programmers to express their algorithms using a global name-space is examined. A general method is presented for analysis of a high level source program and along with its translation to a set of independently executing tasks communicating via messages. If the compiler has enough information, this translation can be carried out at compile-time. Otherwise run-time code is generated to implement the required data movement. The analysis required in both situations is described and the performance of the generated code on the Intel iPSC/2 is presented.

Download or read book Languages Compilers and Run Time Systems for Scalable Computers written by Boleslaw K. Szymanski and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 349 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Language, Compilers and Run-time Systems for Scalable Computers contains 20 articles based on presentations given at the third workshop of the same title, and 13 extended abstracts from the poster session. Starting with new developments in classical problems of parallel compiler design, such as dependence analysis and an exploration of loop parallelism, the book goes on to address the issues of compiler strategy for specific architectures and programming environments. Several chapters investigate support for multi-threading, object orientation, irregular computation, locality enhancement, and communication optimization. Issues of the interface between language and operating system support are also discussed. Finally, the load balance issues are discussed in different contexts, including sparse matrix computation and iteratively balanced adaptive solvers for partial differential equations. Some additional topics are also discussed in the extended abstracts. Each chapter provides a bibliography of relevant papers and the book can thus be used as a reference to the most up-to-date research in parallel software engineering.

Download or read book Supporting Shared Data Structures on Distributed Memory Architectures written by Institute for Computer Applications in Science and Engineering and published by . This book was released on 1990 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Programming nonshared memory systems is more difficult than programming shared memory systems, since there is no support for shared data structures. Current programming languages for distributed memory architectures force the user to decompose all data structures into separate pieces, with each owned by one of the processors in the machine, and with all communication explicitly specified by low-level message-passing primitives. This paper presents a new programming environment for distributed memory architectures, providing a global name space and allowing direct access to remote parts of data values. We describe the analysis and program transformations required to implement this environment, and present the efficiency of the resulting code on the NCUBE/7 and IPSC/2 hypercubes. (kr).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: "Programming nonshared memory systems is more difficult than programming shared memory systems, in part because of the relatively low level of current programming environments for such machines. This paper presents a new programming environment, Kali, which provides a global name space and allows direct access to remote data values. In order to retain efficiency, Kali provides a system of annotations, allowing the user to control those aspects of the program critical to performance, such as data distribution and load balancing. This paper describes the primitives and constructs provided by our language, and also discusses some of the issues raised in translating a Kali program for execution on distributed memory systems."

Download or read book An Implementation of SISAL for Distributed memory Architectures written by and published by . This book was released on 1995 with total page 45 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis describes a new implementation of the implicitly parallel functional programming language SISAL, for massively parallel processor supercomputers. The Optimizing SISAL Compiler (OSC), developed at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, was originally designed for shared-memory multiprocessor machines and has been adapted to distributed-memory architectures. OSC has been relatively portable between shared-memory architectures, because they are architecturally similar, and OSC generates portable C code. However, distributed-memory architectures are not standardized -- each has a different programming model. Distributed-memory SISAL depends on a layer of software that provides a portable, distributed, shared-memory abstraction. This layer is provided by Split-C, a dialect of the C programming language developed at U.C. Berkeley, which has demonstrated good performance on distributed-memory architectures. Split-C provides important capabilities for good performance: support for program-specific distributed data structures, and split-phase memory operations. Distributed data structures help achieve good memory locality, while split-phase memory operations help tolerate the longer communication latencies inherent in distributed-memory architectures. The distributed-memory SISAL compiler and run-time system takes advantage of these capabilities. The results of these efforts is a compiler that runs identically on the Thinking Machines Connection Machine (CM-5), and the Meiko Computing Surface (CS-2).
