Abstract
The Role of Performance Models in Parallel Programming and Languages by Ton Anh Ngo Chairperson of the Supervisory Committee: Professor Lawrence Snyder Department of Computer Science and Engineering A program must be portable, easy to write and yield high performance. Unfortunately, these three qualities present conflicting goals that require difficult and delicate balancing, and for parallel programs, the parallelism adds yet another level of complexity. The difficulty has proved to be a persistent obstacle to parallel systems, even for the data parallel class of applications where the parallelism is abundant and the computation is highly regular. This thesis is an effort to find this delicate balance between scalability, portability and convenience in parallel programming. To establish the framework for analyzing the many disparate and conflicting issues, I develop the concept of modeling and apply it throughout the study. In addition, the empirical nature of the problem calls ...
