KUAS.EE Parallel Computing at a Glance
2
KUAS.EE History Parallel Computing
3
KUAS.EE What is Parallel Processing ? Processing of multiple tasks simultaneously on multiple Processors is called parallel processing. D1D2D3 P1P2P3 R Pm
4
KUAS.EE Why Parallel Processing ?. Computational requirements are ever increasing, both in the area of scientific and business. grand challenge problems. Sequential architecture reaches physical limitation.. Hardware improvements in pipelining, superscalar are non-scalable and requires sophisticated complier technology.. Vector processing works well for certain of problems.. The technology of parallel processing is mature.. Significant development in networking technology is paving a way for heterogeneous computing.
5
KUAS.EE Hardware Architecture for Parallel Processing ? 1.Single instruction single data (SISD) 2.Single instruction multiple data (SIMD) 3.Multiple instruction and single data (MISD) 4.Multiple instruction and multiple data (MIMD)
6
KUAS.EE Single instruction single data (SISD) Sequential computer : PC, Macintosh, Workstation
7
KUAS.EE Single instruction multiple data (SIMD) Vector machines CRAY, Thinking Machines
8
KUAS.EE Multiple instruction and single data (MISD)
9
KUAS.EE Multiple instruction and multiple data (MIMD) work asynchronously
10
KUAS.EE Shared Memory MIMD Machine Tightly-couple multiprocessor Silicon Graphics machines Sun ’ s SMP address shared memory single address space real address vs. virtual address thread NUMA v.s UMA Message passing v.s shared memory
