چکیده
Massively parallel processors introduces new demands on software systems with respect to performance , scalability, robustness and portability. The increased complexity of the memory systems and the increased range of problem sizes for which a given piece of software is used poses serious challenges for software developers. The Connection Machine Scientiic Software Library, CMSSL, uses several novel techniques to meet these challenges. The CMSSL contains routines for managing the data distribution and provides data distribution independent functionality. High performance is achieved through careful scheduling of operations and data motion, and through the automatic selection of algorithms at run{time. We discuss some of the techniques used, and provide evidence that CMSSL has reached the goals of performance and scalability for an important set of applications.

The Connection Machine Scientiic Software Library (CMSSL) is a library of scientiic routines designed for distributed memory architectures. The BLAS of the CMSSL have been implemented as a two{level structure to exploit optimizations local to nodes and across nodes. This paper presents the implementation considerations and performance of the Local BLAS, or BLAS local to each node of the system....

We describe the use and implementation of a polyshift function PSHIFT for circular shifts and end{oo shifts. Polyshift is useful in many scientiic codes using regular grids, such as nite diierence codes in several dimensions, multigrid codes, molecular dynamics computations, and in lattice gauge physics computations , such as Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) calculations. Our implementation of the ...

Massively parallel computing holds the promise of extreme performance. The utility of these systems will depend heavily upon the availability of libraries until compilation and run{ time system technology is developed to a level comparable to what today is common on most uniprocessor systems. Critical for performance is the ability to exploit locality of reference and eeective management of the...
