متن کاملProject Triton: towards Improved Programmability of Parallel Computers Compilation Techniques. Triton/1 Parallel Architecture
This paper appeard in: The main objective of Project Triton is adequate programmability of massively parallel computers. This goal can be achieved by tightly coupling the design of programming languages and parallel hardware. The approach taken in the Project Triton is to let high-level, machine independent parallel programming languages drive the design of parallel hardware. This approach perm...
متن کاملLinguistic Support for Heterogeneous Parallel Processing: A Survey and an Approach
Coding a highly parallel application to run on a heterogeneous suite of processors (both metacomputers and mixed-mode computers) with high efficiency, ease of implementation, and portability is a significant challenge. This paper first surveys recently proposed and existing parallel languages from the perspective of programming complex, heterogeneous systems. We then propose two essential featu...
متن کاملA High-Level Cellular Programming Model for Massively Parallel Processing
Cellular automata are used for designing highperformance applications in many areas. This paper describes CARPET, a high-level programming language based on the cellular automata model. CARPET is a programming language designed to support the development of parallel high performance software. It exploits the computing power of a highly parallel computer releasing a user from using explicit para...
