5. 5 Problems with large computing complexity Computing hard problems (NP-complete problems) exponential computing time. Problems with large scale of input size quantum chemistry, statistic mechanics, relative physics, universal physics, fluid mechanics, biology, genetics engineering, … For example, it costs 1 hour using the current computer to simulate the procedure of 1 second reaction of protein molecule and water molecule. It costs Why Parallel Computing

6. 6 Why parallel Computing Physical limitation of CPU computational power In past 50 years, CPU was speeded up double every 2.5 years. But, there are a physical limitation. Light speed is Therefore, the limitation of the number of CPU clocks is expected to be about 10GHz. To solve computing hard problems Parallel processing DNA computer Quantum computer …

8. 8 Classification of parallel computers Two kinds of classification Flanns Classification SISD (Single Instruction stream, Single Data stream) MISD (Multiple Instruction stream, Single Data stream) SIMD (Single Instruction stream, Multiple Data stream) MIMD (Multiple Instruction stream, Multiple Data stream) 2. Classification by memory status Share memory Distributed memory

9. 9 Flynns classification(1) SISD (Single Instruction Single Data) computer Von Neumans one processor computer ControlProcessor Memory Instruction Stream Data Stream

10. 10 Flynns classification (2) MISD (Multi Instructions Single Data) computer All processors share a common memory, have their own control devices and execute their own instructions on same data. Memory Control Processor Instruction Stream Data Stream Control Processor Instruction Stream Control Processor Instruction Stream

11. 11 Flynns classification (3) SIMD (Single Instructions Multi Data) computer Processors execute the same instructions on different data Operations of processors are synchronized by global clock.

12. 12 Flynns classification (4) MIMD (Multi Instruction Multi Data) Computer Processors have their own control devices, and execute different instructions on different data. Operations of processors are executed asynchronously in most time. It is also called as distributed computing system.

13. 13 Classification by memory types (1) 1. Parallel computer with a shared common memory Communication based on shared memory For example, consider the case that processor i sends some data to processor j. First, processor i writes the data to the share memory, then processor j reads the data from the same address of the share memory. Shared Memory Processor

14. 14 Classification by memory types (2) Features of parallel computers with shared common memory Programming is easy. Exclusive control is necessary for the access to the same memory cell. Realization is difficult when the number of processors is large. Reason) The number of processors connected to shared memory is limited by the physical factors such as the size and voltage of units, and the latency caused in memory accessing.

15. 15 Classification by memory tapes (3) 2. Parallel computers with distributed memory Communication style is one to one based on interconnection network. For example, consider the case that processor i sends data to processor j. First, processor i issues a send command such as processor j sends xxx to process i, then processor j gets the data by a receiving command.

16. 16 Classification by memory types (4) Features of parallel computers using distributed memory There are various architectures of interconnection networks (Generally, the degree of connectivity is not large.) Programming is difficult since comparing with shared common memory the communication style is one to one. It is easy to increase the number of processors.

17. 17 Types of parallel computers with distributed memory Complete connection type Any two processors are connected Features Strong communication ability, but not practical (each processor has to be connected to many processors). Mash connection type Processors are connected as a two-dimension lattice. Features - Connected to few processors. Easily to increase the number of processors. –Large distance between processors: –Existence of processor communication bottleneck.

18. 18 Hypercube connection type Processors connected as a hypercube (each processor has a binary number. (Processors are connected if only if one bit of their number are different. Features Small distance between processors: log n. Balanced communication load because of its symmetric structure. Easy to increase the number of processors. Types of parallel computers with distributed memory

19. 19 Other connected type Tree connection type, butterfly connection type, bus connection type. Criterion for selecting an inter-connection network Small diameter (the largest distance between processors) for small communication delay. Symmetric structure for easily increasing the number of processors. The type of inter-connection network depends on application, ability of processors, upper bound of the number of processors and other factors.
