Profess: A Portable System for Prototyping the Performance of Parallel Programs
نویسندگان
چکیده
Profess is a parallel program simulation tool designed to help application programmers in evaluating the performance of candidate implementations of their programs on a parallel machine. Users provide a high-level description of each program as structured compositions of known programming skeletons and program components. The system then uses a mixture of performance models and actual runs on the parallel machine to estimate the total time required for executing each implementation. In this paper we present the underlying language and basic components of the tool, describe an initial implementation on the AP1000 parallel machine and discuss preliminary results of using the system.

متن کاملDesign, Evaluation and Prototyping of a New Robotic Mechanism for Ultrasound Imaging
This paper presents a new robotic mechanism for ultrasound imaging. The device is placed on a patient's body by an operator, and an ultrasound expert controls the motions of the device to obtain ultrasound images. The paper focuses on the robotic mechanism that performs ultrasound imaging. The design of the mechanism is based on two approaches to produce center of motion for an ultrasound probe...
متن کاملExperiences with Asynchronous Communication Models in VEOS, a Distributed Programming Facility for Uniprocessor LANs
Like conventional multiprocessors, workstation clusters can provide data sharing and parallel computing. But unlike multiprocessors, these clusters provide flexible connectivity and can tolerate heterogeneous processing elements. Uniprocessor LANs are a common choice for cost-effective computing. The workstation nodes typically run a version of Unix and support common Unix services such as reli...
متن کاملMaya: A Simulation Platform for Parallel Architectures and Distributed Shared Memories
Maya is a simulation platform for evaluating the performance of parallel programs on parallel architectures with di erent memory coherence protocols. It uses the communication library PVM to ensure portability. Rapid prototyping of di erent memory protocols of varying degrees of coherence is possible and the impact of these protocols on the performance of application programs can be studied. We...
متن کاملA New Continuous Multi-State Reliability Model with Time Dependent Component Performance Rate
A CSS1†is a system with the continues-state components. When a component has the ability to obtain all the situations from completely working to completely failed, it named continues-state component. In the real world, performance rate of elements are continuous and decrease by time. Continuity of components causes infinite working states and grows up the system states. In this paper we propose...
