Lecture organization • Parallel Processing • Super Computer • Parallel Computer • Amdahl’s Low, Speedup, Efficiency • Parallel Machine Architecture • Computational Model • Concurrency Approach • Parallel Programming • Cluster Computing
It is the division of work into smaller tasks • Assigning many smaller tasks to multiple workers to work on simultaneously • Parallel processing is the use of multiple processors to execute different parts of the same program simultaneously • Difficulties: coordinating, controlling and monitoring the workers • The main goals of parallel processing are: • -solve much bigger problems much faster! • to reduce wall-clock time of execution of computer programs • to increase the size of computational problems that can be solved What is Parallel Processing?
What is a Supercomputer? • A supercomputer is a computer that is a lot faster than the computers that • normal people use • Note: This is a time-dependent definition TOP500 Lists Supercomputer & parallel computer TMCCM-5/1024/ 1024 59.70131.00 Los Alamos National LaboratoryUSA/ Installation SiteCountry/Year ManufacturerComputer/Procs RmaxRpeak June 1993:

Amdahl’s low, Speedup, Efficiency Amdahl’s Law
Efficiency Efficiency is a measure of the fraction of time that a processor spends performing useful work.
Parallel and Distributed Computers • SIMD • MIMD • MISD • Clusters
Parallel machine architecture • Shared memory model • Bus-based • Switch-based • NUMA • Distributed memory model • Distributed shared memory model • Page-based • Object-based • Hardware
Shared memory model(cont.) • - Shared memory or Multiprocessor • OpenMP is a standard (C/C++/FORTRAN) • Advantage: • Easy Programming. • Disadvantage: • Design Complexity • Not Scalable
Bus-based shared memory model • Bus is bottleneck • Not scalable
Switch-based shared memory model • - Maintenance is difficult. • Expensive • scalable
NUMA model • NUMA stands for Non-Uniform Memory Access. • Simulated shared memory • Better scalability
Distributed memory model • Multi computer • MPI(Message Passing Interface) • Easy design • Low cost • High scalability • Difficult programming

Bulk Synchronous Parallel (BSP) Model Processes • Generalization of PRAM Model • Processor-Memory Pairs • Communication Network • Barrier Synchronization Super-step Execute Communications Barrier Synchronization
Complexity g (communication throughput) • Cost of superstep = • w+max(hs,hr).g+l • w (maximum number of local operation) • hs (maximum # of packets sent) • hr (maximum # of packets received) p (number of Processors) l (synchronization latency) BSP Space
LogP Model • Closely related to BSP • It models asynchronous execution • News Parameters • L(message latency) • oThe overhead, defined as the length of time that a processor is engaged in the transmission or reception of each message. During this time the processor cannot perform other operations. • g: The gap, defined as the minimum time interval between consecutive message transmissions or receptions. The reciprocal of g corresponds to the available per-processor bandwidth • P: The number of processor/memory modules.
MPI(Message Passing Interface) • What Is MPI? • A message-passing library specification • message-passing model • not a compiler specification • not a specific product • For parallel computers, clusters, and heterogeneous networks • Full-featured • Designed to permit (unleash?) the development of parallel software libraries • Designed to provide access to advanced parallel hardware for • end users • library writers • tool developers
