Adaptive Parallelism and Piranha

چکیده
Under \adaptive parallelism," the set of processors executing a parallel program may grow or shrink as the program runs. Potential gains include the capacity to run a parallel program on the idle workstations in a conventional LAN|processors join the computation when they become idle, and withdraw when their owners need them|and to manage the nodes of a dedicated multiprocessor eeciency. Experience to date with our Piranha system for adaptive parallelism suggests that these possibilities can be achieved in practice on real applications at comparatively modest costs.

Adaptive Parallelism with Piranha
\Adaptive parallelism" refers to parallel computations on a dynamically changing set of processors: processors may join or withdraw from the computation as it proceeds. Networks of fast workstations are the most important setting for adaptive parallelism at present. Workstations at most sites are typically idle for signiicant fractions of the day, and those idle cycles may constitute in the agg...
متن کاملAdaptive Parallelism on Multiprocessors: Preliminary Experience with Piranha on the CM-5
Mechanisms for sharing multiprocessors among users are still in their infancy|typical approaches include simple space-sharing and ineecient, restricted forms of time-sharing. In this work we investigate a new alternative: adaptive parallelism 2]. Adaptively parallel programs can execute over a dynamically changing set of processors; many such codes can easily and dynamically share a multiproces...
متن کاملManaging Complexity in the Piranha Server - Class Processor Design Luiz
High-end microprocessor designs have recently been incorporating increasingly advanced features, such as larger issue width and speculative out-of-order execution, which are targeted at further extracting instruction-level parallelism from programs. The added design complexity introduced by such mechanisms has led to an alarming increase in design cost and time-to-market for next generation des...
متن کاملPIRANHA filter for communication system robustness
The designed rejection filter is of recursive prediction error (RPE) form and uses a special constrained model of infinite impulse response (IIR) with a minimal number of parameters. The socalled PIRANHA Filter is made up independent cascaded adaptive cells realising high rejection at certain frequencies. The convergent filter is characterised by highly narrow-bandwidth and uniform notches of d...
متن کاملHistological and histochemical study on the alimentary canal in Walking catfish (Claris batrachus) and piranha (Serrasalmus nattereri)
The purpose of this study is to describe the histological and histochemical features of digestive tract intwo aquarium fishes with different types of feeding habits which are omnivorous (Walking catfish) andcarnivorous (piranha), respectively. Five adult Walking catfish (L: 26.4 ± 3.4 cm, W: 265 ± 55 g) and fiveadult piranha (L: 23.6 ± 4.5 cm, W: 247 ± 50 g) were used for this study. The fishes...
