Foil 33 Why Use the HPF Library?

From DoD HPF Training -- 3. Parallel Constructs in HPF DoD Training and Others -- 1995-98. by Chuck Koelbel -- Rice University
If you need the functions
  • Round out the set of reductions
    • All built-in associative, commutative functions
  • Partial reductions (prefix reductions) for all reductions
  • Sorting
Functions were chosen for the library because
  • They are useful
  • They are data-parallel
  • They are hard to implement efficiently by hand
