Foil 97 Fundamental Parallelism Assumption in HPF

From HPCC Software Technologies Fall 96 -- Overview and HPF Delivered Lectures of CPS615 Basic Simulation Track for Computational Science -- 26 September 96. by Geoffrey C. Fox


An operation on two or more data object is likely to be carried out much faster if they all reside in the same processor
  • i.e. minimize communication
it may be possible to carry out many such operations concurrently if they can be performed on different processors
  • data parallelism
