....is the main result of this study and suggests to consider this alternative for the parallelization of future applications. Keywords: OpenMP and MPI implementations, multiple levels of parallelism, multiblock grid, coastal ocean circulation model. 1 Introduction In recent years, OpenMP [1] has emerged as an industrial library for parallel programming in shared memory computers. Parallel performance is achieved without significantly sacrificing execution time when it is ported across a range of sharedmemory platforms. Moreover, its simplicity makes the conversion of a sequential ....

They are oriented towards the organization of the threads that are used to execute the parallelism in a nest of PARALLEL constructs when exploiting multiple levels of parallelism and the allocation of work to them. 2. 1 OpenMP v2.0 We assume the standard execution model defined by OpenMP[8]. A program begins execution as a single process or thread. This thread executes sequentially until the first parallel construct is found. At this time, the thread creates a team of threads and it becomes its master thread. The number of threads in the team is controlled by environment variables, ....

Applications from the SPECfp95 Benchmark Suite and from the NASPB have been used to evaluate the performance of our proposal. All the benchmarks used in the evaluation are parallelized with OpenMP directives [OpenMP00]. The remainder of this paper is organized as follows: Section 2 describes the execution environment. Section 3 presents the equipartition and the equal efficiency algorithms. Section 4 explains the modifications introduced in the equipartition and the equal efficiency to consider the efficiency. ....

....data structures and the insertion of explicit synchronization actions in the program that make the program dicult to understand and maintain. The paper focuses on the runtime support required to support this feature and the code generated by the NanosCompiler. 1 Introduction OpenMP [6] has emerged as the standard programming model for shared memory parallel programming. One of the features available in the current de nition of OpenMP is the possibility of expressing multiple levels of parallelism. When applying multi level parallel strategies, it is common to face with the ....

....implementation details without making the model less accurate. 4. 2 Scheduling Intervals Parallel programming languages and even preprocessor directives for Fortran of C C often allow the automatic parallelization of for loops whose individual iterations represent independent computations [Ope97] If the individual iterations have strong variations in their execution time, the common practice is to use a centralized scheduler giving out chunks of iteration indices to the worker PEs. Even if heuristics are used which start with large chunks and later polish load imbalance by fading the ....

These programming models are usually offered as library implementations or extensions to sequential languages that express the available parallelism in the application. Language extensions are defined by means of directives and language constructs (e.g. OpenMP [2], which is the emerging standard for shared memory parallel programming) In general, the parallelism that the user can express using these language extensions corresponds to simple task graphs, with loosely coupled tasks. Numerical codes in science and engineering usually present enough ....

....in Section 4. 2 Extension to OpenMP In this section we present an extension to the OpenMP programming model that allows the specification of precedence relations among the threads that participate in the execution of a parallel construct. In the fork join execution model defined by OpenMP[2], a program begins execution as a single process or thread. This thread executes sequentially until a PARALLEL construct is found. At this time, the thread creates a team of threads and it becomes its master thread. All threads execute the statements enclosed lexically within the parallel ....

Next we consider each aspect in turn. For instance, assume that vector work is initialized as follows: nblock = 8 work[8] = 8192, 4096, 1024, 4096, 1024, 1024, 1024, 1024 If no precedences among blocks were specified, a simple directive in line 22 like: 22 C OMP GROUPS(nblock, work) would force the runtime to distribute the available processors among the groups using a default allocation scheme [5] that ....

....list of successors for each block (vector numsucc and matrix listsucc) Different heuristics have been proposed in the literature for doing this assignment [9, 12, 10] For instance, assume that the following list of successors is specified (corresponding to the graph shown in Figure 2. a: numsucc[8] = 2, 1, 0, 2, 1, 0, 1, 0 listsucc[8,2] 2, 4, 3, 0, 0, 0, 5, 7, 6, 0, 0, 0, 8, 0, 0, 0 In this case, for instance block number 4 has two successors (as indicated by numsucc[4] 2) blocks 5 and 7 (as indicated by the two valid entries in listsucc[4] f5, 7g) A possible allocation strategy ....

.... [24] Nupshot [25] and VT [2] Tools for shared memory systems have received less attention, possibly due to the lack of a widely accepted standard for the associated programmingparadigm, and because of the need for hardware support to monitor the memory system (the advent of OpenMP [14] seems likely to ease the former situation, while the PerfAPI [3] standards initiative will ameliorate the latter) A number of systems support visualisation of events occurring in threads libraries. Falcon [6] offers real time event monitoring of thread activity as part of a larger computational ....
