โœฆ Synopsis


The paper discusses issues pertinent to performance analysis of massively parallel systems. A model of parallel execution based on threads of control and events is then introduced. The key ingredient of this model is a measure of the communication complexity, which gives the number of events (E) as a function of the number of threads of control (P) and provides a signature of a parallel computation. Various consequences for speedup and load balancing are presented. 1994 Academic Press, Inc.

Many parallel extensions to FORTRAN have been proposed by 'supercomputer' manufacturers. The major differences between these language extensions is reviewed briefly. The Principle of Conservation of Parallelism is also introduced, which is argued to be a desirable foundation on which to base the dev
