Linguistic Support for Heterogeneous Parallel Processing: A Survey and an Approach

چکیده
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 features to be included in programming languages that are intended to support heterogeneity.*

Parleda: a Library for Parallel Processing in Computational Geometry Applications
ParLeda is a software library that provides the basic primitives needed for parallel implementation of computational geometry applications. It can also be used in implementing a parallel application that uses geometric data structures. The parallel model that we use is based on a new heterogeneous parallel model named HBSP, which is based on BSP and is introduced here. ParLeda uses two main lib...
متن کاملCompiler Representations for Heterogeneous Processing
The emergence of heterogeneous parallel systems opens the possibility of higher performance for complex, heterogeneous applications. Unfortunately, heterogeneous parallel systems are even more complex to program than homogeneous parallel systems. Programmers should not have to handle all the added complexity of these systems. Instead, compilers should be extended to automatically handle as much...
متن کاملHierarchical Functional Concepts for Knowledge Transfer among Reinforcement Learning Agents
This article introduces the notions of functional space and concept as a way of knowledge representation and abstraction for Reinforcement Learning agents. These definitions are used as a tool of knowledge transfer among agents. The agents are assumed to be heterogeneous; they have different state spaces but share a same dynamic, reward and action space. In other words, the agents are assumed t...
متن کاملA Hybrid Neural Network Approach for Kinematic Modeling of a Novel 6-UPS Parallel Human-Like Mastication Robot
Introduction we aimed to introduce a 6-universal-prismatic-spherical (UPS) parallel mechanism for the human jaw motion and theoretically evaluate its kinematic problem. We proposed a strategy to provide a fast and accurate solution to the kinematic problem. The proposed strategy could accelerate the process of solution-finding for the direct kinematic problem by reducing the number of required ...
متن کاملMINING FUZZY TEMPORAL ITEMSETS WITHIN VARIOUS TIME INTERVALS IN QUANTITATIVE DATASETS
This research aims at proposing a new method for discovering frequent temporal itemsets in continuous subsets of a dataset with quantitative transactions. It is important to note that although these temporal itemsets may have relatively high textit{support} or occurrence within particular time intervals, they do not necessarily get similar textit{support} across the whole dataset, which makes i...
