Automatic Gameplay Testing for Message Passing Architectures
نویسندگان
چکیده
Videogames are highly technical software artifacts composed of a big amount of modules with complex relationships. Being interactive software, videogames are hard to test and QA becomes a nightmare. Even worst, correctness not only depends on software because levels must also fulfill the main goal: provide entertainment. This paper presents a way for automatic gameplay testing, and provides some insights into source code changes requirements and benefits obtained.

Parallelizing the Symbolic Manipulation Program FORM Part I: Workstation Clusters & Message Passing
The present paper is the first of a series of papers reporting on the parallelization of the symbolic manipulation program FORM on different parallel architectures. Part I deals with workstation clusters using dedicated network hardware and the messages passing libraries (MPI and PVM). After a short introduction to the sequential version of FORM a detailed analysis of the different platforms us...
متن کاملParallel Implementation of Computational Fluid Dynamics Codes on Emerging Architectures
We consider two emerging parallel computing platforms and their suitability for large-scale computational mechanics codes. CRAY Multi-Threaded Architecture (MTA), featuring custom CPUs and automatic parallelizing compiler suite, is organized around flat uniform access shared memory, high-bandwidth connections between CPUs and memory, lightweight synchronization, and context switching between th...
متن کاملNetwork Synthesis for SoC
Communication design for SoCs poses the unique challenges in order to cover a wide range of architectures while offering new opportunities for optimizations based on the application specific nature of system designs. In this report, we propose automatic generation of communication topology from partitioned, scheduled architecture model where system components communicate through message passing...
متن کاملParallel Fortran Programs
Data parallel programming stands for single threaded, global name space, and loosely synchronous parallel computation. This kind of parallel programming has been proven to be very user-friendly, easy to debug and easy to use. But this programming model is not available for most message passing multiprocessor architectures. Adaptor (Automatic Data Parallelism Translator) is a compilation system ...
متن کاملIncremental parallelization of non-data-parallel programs using the Charon message-passing library
Message passing is among the most popular techniques for parallelizing scientific programs on distributed-memory architectures. The reasons for its success are wide availability (MPI [8]), efficiency, and full tuning control provided to the programmer. A major drawback, however, is that incremental parallelization, as offered by compiler directives, is not generally possible, because all data s...
