Foil 63 We have learnt that Parallel Computing Works !

From CPS615-Introduction-Course,Driving Technology and HPCC Current Status and Futures CPS615 Basic Simulation Track for Computational Science -- Fall Semester 96. by Geoffrey C. Fox *
Data Parallelism - universal form of scaling parallelism
Functional Parallelism - Important but typically modest speedup. - Critical in multidisciplinary applications.
On any machine architecture
  • Distributed Memory MIMD
  • Distributed Memory SIMD
  • Shared memory - this affects programming model
  • This affects generality
  • SIMD ~ 50% academic problems
  • but < 50% commercial
