Research Initiation Award: Concurrent Simulation of Shared Memory Multiprocessors

在Alliant计算机上开发并实现了多处理器仿真的原型方法。该研究将逐步自动化在一系列多处理器系统上模拟并行数值算法所需的步骤。最终目标是构建一个可以模拟任何并行程序的模拟器。还将开发用于性能预测的分析模型。这些建模和仿真技术有望导致更好的并行算法和划分技术。

A prototype methodology for multiprocessor simulations has been developed and implemented on the Alliant computer. The research will incrementally automate the steps required to simulate parallel numerical algorithms on a range of multiprocessor systems. The ultimate goal is to construct a simulator that can simulate any parallel program. Analytic models for performance prediction will also be developed. These modelling and simulation techniques are expected to lead to better parallel algorithms and partitioning techniques.
