Scalable software libraries

Scalable Software Libraries 1

Many software libraries (e.g., the Booch C++ Components, libg++, NIHCL, COOL) provide components (classes) that implement data structures. Each component is written by hand and represents a unique combination of features (e.g. concurrency, data structure, memory allocation algorithms) that distinguishes it from other components. We argue that this way of building data structure component librar...

Scientiic Software Libraries for Scalable Architectures Scientiic Software Libraries for Scalable Architectures

Massively parallel processors introduce new demands on software systems with respect to performance , scalability, robustness and portability. The increased complexity of the memory systems and the increased range of problem sizes for which a given piece of software is used, poses serious challenges to software developers. The Connection Machine Scientiic Software Library, CMSSL, uses several n...

A Scalable Approach to Software Libraries

Software libraries o er a convenient and accessible means to achieve the bene ts of reuse. The components of these libraries are written by hand, and each represents a unique combination of features that distinguishes it from other components. Unfortunately, as the number of features grows, the size of these libraries grows exponentially, making them unscalable. Predator is a research project t...
