Structure(Architecture) of Applications - I

• Applications are metaproblems with a mix of module (aka coarse grain functional) and data parallelism

• Modules are decomposed into parts (data parallelism) and composed hierarchically into full applications.They can be the

  • “10,000” separate programs (e.g. structures,CFD ..) used in design of aircraft
  • the various filters used in Khoros based image processing system
  • the ocean-atmosphere components in integrated climate simulation
  • The data-base or file system access of a data-intensive application
  • the objects in a distributed Forces Modeling Event Driven Simulation
