چکیده

A quantitative comparison of the BSP and LogP models of parallel computation is developed. We concentrate on a variant of LogP that disallows the so-called stalling behavior, although issues surrounding the stalling phenomenon are also explored. Very eecient cross simulations between the two models are derived, showing their substantial equivalence for algorithmic design guided by asymptotic analysis. It is also shown that the two models can be implemented with similar performance on most point-to-point networks. In conclusion, within the limits of our analysis that is mainly of an asymptotic nature, BSP and (stall-free) LogP can be viewed as closely related variants within the bandwidth-latency framework for modeling parallel computation. BSP seems somewhat preferable due to its greater simplicity and portability, and slightly greater power. LogP lends itself more naturally to multiuser mode.

ion for algorithm design and programming, while LogP provides better control of machine resources. Comparisons and evaluations between the two models have been made in [29,62,104]. In [29], a variant of LogP that disallows the so-called stalling behavior is considered. The authors create cross simulations between the two models showing their equivalence in algorithmic design when using asymptot...

On stalling in LogP ? ( Extended

We investigate the issue of stalling in the LogP model. In particular, we introduce a novel quantitative characterization of stalling, referred to as -stalling, which intuitively captures the realistic assumption that once the network’s capacity constraint is violated, it takes some time (at most ) for this information to propagate to the processors involved. We prove a lower bound that shows t...

On Stalling in LogP

We investigate the issue of stalling in the LogP model. In particular, we introduce a novel quantitative characterization of stalling, referred to as δ-stalling, which intuitively captures the realistic assumption that once the network’s capacity constraint is violated, it takes some time (at most δ) for this information to propagate to the processors involved. We prove a lower bound that shows...
