Teaching Parallel Programming Using Both High-Level and Low-Level Languages
نویسنده
چکیده
We discuss the use of both MPI and OpenMP in the teaching of senior undergraduate and junior graduate classes in parallel programming. We briefly introduce the OpenMP standard and discuss why we have chosen to use it in parallel programming classes. Advantages of using OpenMP over message passing methods are discussed. We also include a brief enumeration of some of the drawbacks of using OpenMP and how these drawbacks are being addressed by supplementing OpenMP with additional MPI codes and projects. Several projects given in my class are also described in this paper.

High-Level vs Low-Level Parallel Programming for Scientific Computing
This talk briefly reviews some of the most popular high-level and low-level parallel programming languages used for scientific computing. We will report our experiences of using these languages in our research and compare the performance of several parallel scientific equation solvers implemented in different parallel languages. Major features and comparisons of these languages will be discusse...
متن کاملtreftlen - dous progress in developing and analyzing parallel algorithftls
In the past 20 years there has been treftlen-dous progress in developing and analyzing parallel algorithftls. Researchers have developed efficient parallel algorithms to solve most problems for which efficient sequential solutions are known. Although some of these algorithms are efficient only in a theoretical framework, many are quite efficient in practice or have key ideas that have been used...
متن کاملA Comparison of Implicit and Explicit Parallel Programming
The impact of the parallel programming model on scientiic computing is examined. A comparison is made between Sisal, a functional language with implicit parallelism, and SR, an imperative language with explicit parallelism. Both languages are modern, high-level, concurrent programming languages. Five diierent scientiic applications were programmed in each language, and evaluated for programmabi...
متن کاملVILLE – Multilanguage Tool for Teaching Novice Programming
Visualization tools have proven to be useful for enhancing novice programming learning. However, those tools are typically tide to a certain programming language and focus to low level aspect of programming such as changing value of variables during code execution. In this paper, we present a new program visualization tool which provides a language independency view of learning programming and ...
متن کاملThe High-Level Parallel Language ZPL Improves Productivity and Performance
In this paper, we qualitatively address how high-level parallel languages improve productivity and performance. Using ZPL as a case study, we discuss advantages that stem from a language having both a global (rather than a perprocessor) view of the computation and an underlying performance model that statically identifies communication in code. We also candidly discuss several disadvantages to ...
