MULTILISP: a language for concurrent symbolic computation

by Robert H. Halstead - ACM Transactions on Programming Languages and Systems , 1985
"... Multilisp is a version of the Lisp dialect Scheme extended with constructs for parallel execution. Like Scheme, Multilisp is oriented toward symbolic computation. Unlike some parallel programming languages, Multilisp incorporates constructs for causing side effects and for explicitly introducing par ..."

The SPLASH-2 programs: Characterization and methodological considerations

by Steven Cameron Woo, Moriyoshi Ohara, Evan Torrie, Jaswinder Pal Singh, Anoop Gupta - INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM ON COMPUTER ARCHITECTURE , 1995
"... The SPLASH-2 suite of parallel applications has recently been released to facilitate the study of centralized and distributed shared-address-space multiprocessors. In this context, this paper has two goals. One is to quantitatively characterize the SPLASH-2 programs in terms of fundamental propertie ..."

scale with problem size and the number of processors. The other, related goal is methodological: to assist people who will use the programs in architectural evaluations to prune the space of application and machine parameters in an informed and meaningful way. For example, by characterizing the working

Active Messages: a Mechanism for Integrated Communication and Computation

by Thorsten Von Eicken, David E. Culler, Seth Copen Goldstein, Klaus Erik Schauser , 1992
"... The design challenge for large-scale multiprocessors is (1) to minimize communication overhead, (2) allow communication to overlap computation, and (3) coordinate the two without sacrificing processor cost/performance. We show that existing message passing multiprocessors have unnecessarily high com ..."

PVM: A Framework for Parallel Distributed Computing

by V. S. Sunderam - Concurrency: Practice and Experience , 1990
"... The PVM system is a programming environment for the development and execution of large concurrent or parallel applications that consist of many interacting, but relatively independent, components. It is intended to operate on a collection of heterogeneous computing elements interconnected by one or ..."

Static Scheduling of Synchronous Data Flow Programs for Digital Signal Processing

by Edward Ashford Lee, David G. Messerschmitt - IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON COMPUTERS , 1987
"... Large grain data flow (LGDF) programming is natural and convenient for describing digital signal processing (DSP) systems, but its runtime overhead is costly in real time or cost-sensitive applications. In some situations, designers are not willing to squander computing resources for the sake of pro ..."

Myrinet: A Gigabit-per-Second Local Area Network

by Nanette J. Boden, Danny Cohen, Robert E. Felderman, Alan E. Kulawik, Charles L. Seitz, Jakov N. Seizovic, Wen-king Su - IEEE Micro , 1995
"... Abstract. Myrinet is a new type of local-area network (LAN) based on the technology used for packet communication and switching within "massivelyparallel processors " (MPPs). Think of Myrinet as an MPP message-passing network that can span campus dimensions, rather than as a wide-a ..."
Abstract - Cited by 1011 (0 self) - Add to MetaCart
. The Caltech Mosaic was an experiment to "push the envelope " of multicomputer design and programming toward a system with up to tens of thousands of small, single-chip nodes rather than hundreds of circuit-board-size nodes. The fine-grain multicomputer places more extreme demands

The Cougar Approach to In-Network Query Processing in Sensor Networks

by Yong Yao, Johannes Gehrke - SIGMOD Record , 2002
"... The widespread distribution and availability of smallscale sensors, actuators, and embedded processors is transforming the physical world into a computing platform. One such example is a sensor network consisting of a large number of sensor nodes that combine physical sensing capabilities such as te ..."

FFTW: An Adaptive Software Architecture For The FFT

by Matteo Frigo, Steven G. Johnson , 1998
"... FFT literature has been mostly concerned with minimizing the number of floating-point operations performed by an algorithm. Unfortunately, on present-day microprocessors this measure is far less important than it used to be, and interactions with the processor pipeline and the memory hierarchy have ..."

Towards an Active Network Architecture

by David L. Tennenhouse, David J. Wetherall - Computer Communication Review , 1996
"... Active networks allow their users to inject customized programs into the nodes of the network. An extreme case, in which we are most interested, replaces packets with "capsules" -- program fragments that are executed at each network router/switch they traverse. Active architectures permit ..."
