Parallel processing: a smart compiler and a dumb machine

Parallel processing: a smart compiler and a dumb machine

Multiprocessors and vector machines, the only successful parallel architectures, have coarse-grained parallelism that is hard for compilers to take advantage of. We've developed a new fine-grained parallel architecture and a compiler that together offer order-of-magnitude speedups for ordinary...

Zusammenfassung:Multiprocessors and vector machines, the only successful parallel architectures, have coarse-grained parallelism that is hard for compilers to take advantage of. We've developed a new fine-grained parallel architecture and a compiler that together offer order-of-magnitude speedups for ordinary scientific code.
