Parallel Compilation

Parallel Computing: Fundamentals And Applications - Proceedings Of The International Conference Parco99

This millennium will see the increased use of parallel computing technologies at all levels of mainstream computing. Most computer hardware will use these technologies to achieve higher computing speeds, high speed access to very large distributed databases and greater flexibility through heterogeneous computing. These developments can be expected to result in the extended use of all types of parallel computers in virtually all areas of human endeavour. Compute-intensive problems in emerging areas such as financial modelling and multimedia systems, in addition to traditional application areas of parallel computing such as scientific computing and simulation, will stimulate the developments. Parallel computing as a field of scientific research and development will move from a niche concentrating on solving compute-intensive scientific and engineering problems to become one of the fundamental computing technologies.This book gives a retrospective view of what has been achieved in the parallel computing field during the past three decades, as well as a prospective view of expected future developments./a

Parallel Architectures and Compilation Techniques

Fine and medium grain parallelism continues to hold its own as a vital, vibrant research topic. Within the area, new developments in superscalar and VLIW architectures and their associated compilation techniques, have provided exciting new avenues to extract performance from a slowing technology curve.Comprising 28 full-length papers and a number of short (poster) papers, this publication offers a high quality exploration of the current state-of-the art in the field. It will be of particular interest to those involved in control structures and microprogramming; processor architectures; computer system implementation; programming techniques; and software engineering.
