Weaver 9410032 This project is concerned with making massively parallel computers more usable by scientists and engineers working with irregular applications. Irregular applications are those whose underlying data structures are not simple static dense arrays, but are more complicated either because the relationships between the underlying data elements are not modeled well by arrays or because the amount and shape of the data change significantly during the course of the computation. There is little support of any kind available for the programmer who wants to put one of these applications on a massively parallel machine. The project will take a language, DYNO, that has been designed for programming irregular applications and testes with a number of small kernels and subject it to intense analysis using significantly sized, real irregular applications.

Weaver 9410032这个项目关注的是让科学家和工程师更容易使用大规模并行计算机来处理不规则的应用程序。 不规则应用程序的底层数据结构不是简单的静态密集数组，而是更复杂的，因为底层数据元素之间的关系没有通过数组很好地建模，或者因为数据的数量和形状在计算过程中发生了显着变化。 对于想把这些应用程序之一放在大规模并行机上的程序员来说，几乎没有任何类型的支持。 该项目将采用一种语言DYNO，该语言专为编写不规则应用程序而设计，并使用一些小内核进行测试，并使用大小显著的真实的不规则应用程序对其进行深入分析。
