Experiences in Data-Parallel Programming

by Terry W. Clark, Reinhard V. Hanxleden, Ken Kennedy - Center for , 1995
"... To efficiently parallelize a scientific application with a data-parallel compiler requires certain structural properties in the source program, and conversely, the absence of others. A recent parallelization effort of ours reinforced this observation and motivated this correspondence. Specifically, ..."

Runtime Coupling of Data-parallel Programs

by M. Ranganathan, A. Acharya, G. Edjlali, A. Sussman, J. Saltz - In Proceedings of the 1996 International Conference on Supercomputing , 1995
"... We consider the problem of efficiently coupling multiple data-parallel programs at runtime. We propose an approach that establishes a mapping between data structures in different data-parallel programs and implements a user specified consistency model. Mappings are established at runtime and new map ..."

An embedded language for data-parallel programming

by Joel Svensson , 2008
"... This thesis describes the implementation of Obsidian, an embedded language for data-parallel programming. The programming style used in Obsidian borrows many ideas from the hardware description language Lava. In lava combinators are are used to combine circuits into larger circuits. Obsidian uses th ..."

Array distribution in data-parallel programs

by Siddhartha Chatterjee, John R. Gilbert, Robert Schreiber, Thomas J. Sheffler - IN PROCEEDINGS OF THE SEVENTH WORKSHOP ON LANGUAGES AND COMPILERS FOR PARALLEL COMPUTING , 1994
"... We consider dism_oution at compile time of the array data in a distributed-memory implementation of a data-parallel program written in a language like Fortran 90. We allow dynamic redistribution of data and define a heuristic algorithmic framework that chooses distribution parameters to minimize an ..."

New Abstractions for Data Parallel Programming

by James C. Brodman, Basilio B. Fraguela, María J. Garzarán, David Padua
"... Developing applications is becoming increasingly difficult due to recent growth in machine complexity along many dimensions, especially that of parallelism. We are studying data types that can be used to represent data parallel operations. Developing parallel programs with these data types have nume ..."

Proving Data-Parallel Programs: A Unifying Approach

by David Cachera, Gil Utard , 1996
"... We define an axiomatic semantics for a common kernel of existing data-parallel languages. We introduce an assertional language which enables us to define a weakest liberal precondition calculus which has the Definability Property, and a proof system (`a la Hoare) which has the Completeness Property ..."
Abstract - Add to MetaCart
Property. Moreover, our axiomatic semantics integrates two previous works in the definition of proof systems for data-parallel programs. This work sheds a new light on the logical complexity of proving data-parallel programs.

Piecewise Execution of Nested Data-Parallel Programs

by Daniel W. Palmer, Jan F. Prins, Siddhartha Chatterjee, Rickard E. Faith - Languages and Compilers for Parallel Computing, volume 1033 of Lecture Notes in Computer Science , 1995
"... The technique of flattening nested data parallelism combines all the independent operations in nested apply-to-all constructs and generates large amounts of potential parallelism for both regular and irregular expressions. However, the resulting data-parallel programs can have enormous memory req ..."
