9308662 Eshaghian A novel parallel programming tool called Cluster-M will be implemented. Cluster-M provides an environment for efficiently designing highly parallel machine independent software. Using this tool a single parallel program can be ported, mapped and executed on various multiprocessor systems, therefore, significantly reducing the cost of software development. Also designing parallel algorithms using Cluster-M is simple and need not be done by an expert. The main components of this paradigm are the Cluster-M specifications and representations. Cluster-M specification is a highly parallel program which specifies the communication and computation requirements of a solution to a given problem by exploiting and emphasizing all the concurrent tasks at every step of an algorithm. On the other hand, Cluster-M representation represents the processor interconnection topology of the underlying architectures. The specification can be mapped onto different Cluster-M representations, using the mapping methodologies, which are proposed to be implemented. ***

9308662 Eshaghian将实现一种新的并行编程工具Cluster-M。Cluster-M为高效设计高度并行的机器独立软件提供了环境。使用此工具，单个并行程序可以在各种多处理器系统上移植、映射和执行，因此，大大降低了软件开发的成本。此外，使用Cluster-M设计并行算法也很简单，不需要专家来做。该范式的主要组件是Cluster-M规范和表示。Cluster-M规范是一种高度并行的程序，它通过利用和强调算法每一步的所有并发任务来指定给定问题解决方案的通信和计算需求。另一方面，Cluster-M表示表示底层体系结构的处理器互连拓扑。该规范可以使用建议实现的映射方法映射到不同的Cluster-M表示。* * *
