Foil 3 Parallel Computing Methodology in a Nutshell I

From Methodology of Computational Science CPS615 Computational Science -- Spring Semester 2000. by Geoffrey C. Fox
1 Find what machine or class of Machines you have available
2 Examine parallelism seemingly available in your application (algorithm) and decide on mechanism needed to exploit it.
  • What is decomposition implied by algorithm
  • Do we need to devise or adapt a nifty new algorithm
  • Is there an "automatic" way of implementing or must it be done more or less by hand
3 Decide on and use programming model (HPF, MPI, Threads, openMP) and explicit realization of it
  • expressivity; support for chosen machine; robustness
