Parallel Performance Study of Monte Carlo Photon Transport Code on Shared-, Distributed-, and Distributed-Shared-Memory Architectures
We have parallelized a Monte Carlo photon transport algorithm. Three different parallel versions of the algorithm were developed. The first version is for the Tera Multi-Threaded Architecture (MTA) and uses Tera specific directives. The second version, which uses MPI library calls, has been implemented on both the CRAY T3E and the 8-way SMP IBM SP with Power3 processors. The third version is a ...

متن کاملCoupled cluster algorithms for networks of shared memory parallel processors
As the popularity of using SMP systems as the building blocks for high performance supercomputers increases, so too increases the need for applications that can utilize the multiple levels of parallelism available in clusters of SMPs. This paper presents a dual-layer distributed algorithm, using both shared-memory and distributed-memory techniques to parallelize a very important algorithm (ofte...
متن کاملHybrid Distributed Shared Memory Space in Multi-core Processors
On multi-core processors, memories are preferably distributed and supporting Distributed Shared Memory (DSM) is essential for the sake of reusing huge amount of legacy code and easy programming. However, the DSM organization imports the inherent overhead of translating virtual memory addresses into physical memory addresses, resulting in negative performance. We observe that, in parallel applic...
متن کاملDistributed Parallel Volume Rendering on Shared Memory Systems
This paper reports on the remote use of MIMD parallel machines for compute-intensive visualisation tasks. As an alternative to dedicated rendering hardware, a system using conventional desktop machines connected to a visualisation server permits sharing of the resource between several users, and/or sites. The design of a parallel rendering system should consider not only how to achieve efficien...
