Shared memory is an efficient means of passing data between processes. In a shared memory model, parallel processes share a global address space that they read and write to asynchronously. This is ...

Week 2 : Overview of shared memory parallel architectures: memory organization, interconnect organization, cache coherence, case studies of machines such as SGI Challenge, IBM J-30, HP/Convex Exemplar ...

This course examines the current techniques for design and development of parallel programs targeted for platforms ranging from multicore computers to high-performance clusters, with and without ...

Abstract: In this work, we present a survey of the different parallel programming models and tools available today with special consideration to their suitability for high-performance computing. Thus, ...

This course deepens the knowledge in the area of parallel computing. Focus is set on shared-memory architectures, as current trends indicate an increasing use of such architectures. Initially, aspects ...

In parallel computing the most common models are based on a set of processors connected either by a shared memory, as in the Parallel Random Access Machines (PRAM, see Figure 1), or through a network, ...

OpenMP, a portable programming interface for shared memory parallel computers, was adopted as an informal standard in 1997 by computer scientists who wanted a unified model on which to base programs ...

What Is Parallel Processing, or Parallelization? In parallel processing, “different parts of a computation are executed simultaneously on separate processor hardware,” says Tao B. Schardl, a ...
