Parallel Computing in Electrical Engineering, International Conference on (PARELEC'04) pp. 13-18 Matrix Multiplication Performance on Commodity Shared-Memory Multiprocessors G. Tsilikas , University of Essex, UK M. Fleury , University of Essex, UK Full Article Text: DOI Bookmark: http://doi.ieeecomputersociety.org/10.1109/PCEE.2004.43 Abstract Cache-oblivious algorithms for matrix multiplication are confirmed as an effective way of exploiting Intel architecture shared-memory multiprocessors. The performance also remains consistent across a wide range of matrix size. The Cilk programming environment remains an effective way of implementing this type of algorithm, but the need for portability and a compiler upgrade route mean that a portability library is a competitive alternative. The paper considers the interaction of matrix multiplication algorithms with the memory hierarchy, as well as multithreading across differing operating system variants and compilers.

Beowulf CILK a package that contains the cilk programming language which is a C extension.Simple commands like cilk, spawn, and sync should be added to the serial http://www.symbio.jst.go.jp/~tino/Html/beowulf.html
Extractions: Beowulf was the legendary sixth-century hero from a distant realm who freed the Danes of Heorot by destroying the oppressive monster Grendel. As a metaphor, ``Beowulf'' has been applied to a new strategy in high performance computing that exploits mass-market technologies to overcome the oppressive costs in time and money of super-computing [ Beowulf consists of a set of N Using a combination of switches, much larger configurations can be achieved on the order of a thousand nodes by connecting several routers in a tree structure. The total latency increase of such a big system is of less than a factor three. The most popular operating system on Beowulfs is Linux. A specific package based on Redhat called Extreme Linux is often used. A parallel software package is needed to use a Beowulf effectively. Examples are PVM (parallel virtual machine), MPI (message passing for interprocessor communication). Sterling et. al. [ ] use MPI. Since many groups already use a Beowulf new software appears, an example is CILK.

Guy Blelloch: Research In the early 90s we designed a parallel programming language called NESL has been adopted by other languages, such as the cilk programming language. http://www-2.cs.cmu.edu/~guyb/research.html
Extractions: This page describes research that my students and I have been involved in. It is often the case that by slightly changing the input to an algorithm, the execution path will only change slightly. The idea of adaptive computation is to let the algorithm "adapt" to such small changes by only updating the part of the computation that is required to be updated. The idea is implemented by maintaining a dependence graph of the computation and using this graph to propagate changes. The propagation will both update the output and update the graph itself (so that it is ready for another change). We are interested both in techniques for maintaining the graph, and in proving bounds for how much needs to be updated for different algorithms. Our initial work in this area is described in the following paper. Umut Acar, Guy Blelloch, and Robert Harper.

Cilk Pousse Home page of the first prize winners of the ICFP Functional programming Contest from MIT Laboratory for Computer Sciences. http://supertech.lcs.mit.edu/~pousse/
Extractions: First Prize in the 1998 ICFP Functional Programming Contest went to Cilk Pousse, a program written in the Cilk multithreaded programming language being developed by the Supercomputing Technologies research group (SuperTech) of the MIT Laboratory for Computer Science (LCS). Although Cilk is not a functional language, it provides high-level linguistic abstractions for parallelism, and the contest was explicitly open to programs written in any language. (Half the entries were programmed in C.) The challenge task was to write a program to play the game of ``Pousse'', a variant of tic-tac-toe played on an N -by- N board. The programs competed on a 4-processor Pentium Pro machine running a Linux operating system. Teams had 72 hours to complete the programming. Almost 50 programs were entered into the contest. In the course of the competition, the Cilk Pousse program was undefeated in all games, even though in Pousse, the first player has a significant advantage. The First Prize citation recommends Cilk as ``the superior programming tool of choice for discriminating hackers.''
The Cilk Project A language for multithreaded parallel programming based on ANSI C. Source code, manual, papers, and research into parallel chess programs. http://supertech.lcs.mit.edu/cilk/
Extractions: The Cilk Project SuperTech Home Download Introduction ... Papers Cilk is a language for multithreaded parallel programming based on ANSI C. Cilk is designed for general-purpose parallel programming, but it is especially effective for exploiting dynamic, highly asynchronous parallelism, which can be difficult to write in data-parallel or message-passing style. Using Cilk, our group has developed three world-class chess programs, StarTech, *Socrates, and Cilkchess. Cilk provides an effective platform for programming dense and sparse numerical algorithms, such as matrix factorization and N-body simulations, and we are working on other types of applications. Unlike many other multithreaded programming systems, Cilk is algorithmic, in that the runtime system employs a scheduler that allows the performance of programs to be estimated accurately based on abstract complexity measures. Click here for a brief introduction to Cilk. The Cilk-5.3.2 Reference Manual contains a programming guide with a short tutorial on the Cilk language. The most recent release of Cilk is Cilk-5.3.2

Extractions: Cilk is a multithreaded programming language being developed at MIT. The Cilk language minimally extends C to allow programmers to specify the interactions among computational threads in a high-level fashion. Cilk's runtime system dynamically maps the computation onto available physical resources in a provably efficient fashion. The performance of a Cilk program is mathematically guaranteed to scale up linearly with the number of processors, as long as the application has sufficient parallelism and the architecture sufficient communication bandwidth. Moreover, Cilk provides a theoretical performance model based on ``Brent's theorem'' that allows a programmer to predict the performance of algorithms. Our implementation of Cilk is efficient: a parallel Cilk program ``scales down'' to run on a single processor with nearly the same efficiency as comparable C code, thereby removing a major barrier to parallel programming. In addition, Cilk provides a novel debugging tool called the ``Nondeterminator'' which guarantees to automatically find determinacy-race bugs in a parallel Cilk execution.
