Eighth International Workshop on High-Level Parallel Programming Models and Supportive Environments


Book Description

HIPS 2003 is a forum for researchers in the areas of applications, computational models, language design, compilers, system architecture, and programming tools to discuss new developments in programming parallel and grid systems. The proceedings covers the design and implementation of high-level programming models for parallel and grid environments. It also looks at current programming models such as MPI and OpenMP and covers implementation techniques for OpenMP on SMP systems.




High-Level Parallel Programming Models and Supportive Environments


Book Description

On the 23rd of April, 2001, the 6th Workshop on High-Level Parallel P- gramming Models and Supportive Environments (LCTES’98) was held in San Francisco. HIPShas been held over the past six years in conjunction with IPDPS, the Internation Parallel and Distributed Processing Symposium. The HIPSworkshop focuses on high-level programming of networks of wo- stations, computing clusters and of massively-parallel machines. Its goal is to bring together researchers working in the areas of applications, language design, compilers, system architecture and programming tools to discuss new devel- ments in programming such systems. In recent years, several standards have emerged with an increasing demand of support for parallel and distributed processing. On one end, message-passing frameworks, such as PVM, MPI and VIA, provide support for basic commu- cation. On the other hand, distributed object standards, such as CORBA and DCOM, provide support for handling remote objects in a client-server fashion but also ensure certain guarantees for the quality of services. The key issues for the success of programming parallel and distributed en- ronments are high-level programming concepts and e?ciency. In addition, other quality categories have to be taken into account, such as scalability, security, bandwidth guarantees and fault tolerance, just to name a few. Today’s challenge is to provide high-level programming concepts without s- ri?cing e?ciency. This is only possible by carefully designing for those concepts and by providing supportive programming environments that facilitate program development and tuning.




Computing in Object-Oriented Parallel Environments


Book Description

This volume contains the Proceedings of the International Symposium on C- puting in Object-Oriented Parallel Environments (ISCOPE ’98), held at Santa 1 Fe, New Mexico, USA on December 8{11, 1998. ISCOPE is in its second year, and continues to grow both in attendance and in the diversity of the subjects covered. ISCOPE’97 and its predecessor conferences focused more narrowly on scienti c computing in the high-performance arena. ISCOPE ’98 retains this emphasis, but has broadened to include discrete-event simulation, mobile c- puting, and web-based metacomputing. The ISCOPE ’98 Program Committee received 39 submissions, and acc- ted 10 (26%) as Regular Papers, based on their excellent content, maturity of development, and likelihood for widespread interest. These 10 are divided into three technical categories. Applications: The rst paper describes an approach to simulating advanced nuclear power reactor designs that incorporates multiple local solution - thods and a natural extension to parallel execution. The second paper disc- ses a Time Warp simulation kernel that is highly con gurable and portable. The third gives an account of the development of software for simulating high-intensity charged particle beams in linear particle accelerators, based on the POOMA framework, that shows performance considerably better than an HPF version, along with good parallel speedup.







Shared Memory Parallel Programming with Open MP


Book Description

This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed postproceedings of the 5th International Workshop on Open MP Application and Tools, WOMPAT 2004, held in Houston, TX, USA in May 2004. The 12 revised full papers presented were carefully selected during two rounds of reviewing and improvement. The papers are devoted to using Open MP for large scale applications on several computing platforms, consideration of Open MP parallelization strategies, discussion and evaluation of several proposed language features, and compiler and tools technology.




Digital Systems and Applications
