From DoD HPF Training -- 5. Parallel Programming in HPF DoD Training and Others -- 1995-98. by Chuck Koelbel -- Rice University


Warning: Your compiler may do things differently!
Computing edge values requires edge list and node values
  • Distribute edges ̃ parallel, no communication for edges
  • Replicate edges ̃ sequential or broadcast edge values
  • Distribute nodes ̃ move ³shared² endpoints
  • Replicate nodes ̃ no movement for endpoints
Updating node values requires edge list, edge values, and node values
  • Distribute edges ̃ parallel, no communication for edges
  • Replicate edges ̃ sequential, no communication for edges
  • Distribute nodes ̃ move ³shared² endpoints
  • Replicate nodes ̃ move all endpoints
The bottom line, part I
  • Always distribute edges
  • Distribute nodes unless the problem is very small
