Semantics of a Functional Bulk Synchronous Parallel Language with Imperative Features
نویسندگان
چکیده
The Bulk Synchronous Parallel ML (BSML) is a functional language for Bulk Synchronous Parallel (BSP) programming, on top of the sequential functional language Objective Caml. It is based on an extension of the λ-calculus by parallel operations on a parallel data structure named parallel vector, which is given by intention. The Objective Caml language is a functional language but it also offers imperative features. This paper presents formal semantics of BSML with references, assignment and dereferencing.

متن کاملA BSPlib-style API for Bulk Synchronous Parallel ML
Bulk synchronous parallelism (BSP) offers an abstract and simple model of parallelism yet allows to take realistically into account the communication costs of parallel algorithms. BSP has been used in many application domains. BSPlib and its variants are programming libraries for the C language that support the BSP style. Bulk Synchronous Parallel ML (BSML) is a library for BSP programming with...
متن کاملSemantics of Minimally Synchronous Parallel ML
This paper presents a new functional parallel language: Minimally Synchronous Parallel ML. The execution time can then be estimated and dead-locks and indeterminism are avoided. It shares with Bulk Synchronous Parallel ML its syntax and high-level semantics but it has a minimally synchronous distributed semantics. Programs are written as usual ML programs but using a small set of additional fun...
متن کاملParallel Juxtaposition for Bulk Synchronous Parallel ML
The BSMLlib library is a library for Bulk Synchronous Parallel (BSP) programming with the functional language Objective Caml. It is based on an extension of the λ-calculus by parallel operations on a parallel data structure named parallel vector. An attempt to add a parallel composition to this approach led to a non-confluent calculus and to a restricted form of parallel composition. This paper...
متن کاملFormal Operational Semantics of a Core Imperative BSP language Application to the proof of a numerical program and a certified optimization
PUB (Paderborn University BSPLib) is a C library supporting the development of Bulk-Synchronous Parallel (BSP) algorithms. The BSP model allows an estimation of the execution time, avoids deadlocks and indeterminism. This paper presents three formal operational semantics for a C+PUB subset language using the Coq proof assistant. A first semantics, for classical BSP operations, has been used to ...
