Foil 19 Summary on Communication etc.

From Methodology of Computational Science CPS615 Computational Science -- Spring Semester 2000. by Geoffrey C. Fox


1 Distributed Shared Memory machines have communication features of both distributed (messages) and shared (memory access) architectures
2 Note for distributed memory, programming model must express data location (HPF Distribute command) and invocation of messages (MPI syntax)
3 For shared memory, need to express control (openMP) or processing parallelism and synchronization -- need to make certain that when variable updated, "correct" version is used by other processors accessing this variable and that values living in caches are updated
