Foil 26 Some Conclusions on Programming Models

From MPI HPF and DAGH for Parallelization of Black Hole Codes SIAM Workshop Minneapolis "Is Message Passing Obsolete" -- 16 March 97. by Scott Klasky, Tom Haupt, Geoffrey C. Fox *
This application does NOT suggest Message Passing is Obsolete!
  • Rather message passing is only "complete" solution and the alternative higher level approaches only express parts of the problem
This application suggests a tool-kit approach where you can link together many environments and not be tied to a single system
  • Possible an Interpreted front end and/or use of systems like WebFlow
This stresses need for interoperable subsystems rather than ambitious complete solutions that can't be completed
