  Design patterns percolating to parallel programming framework implementation
Aldinucci M., Campa S., Danelutto M., Kilpatrick P., Torquati M. International Journal of Parallel Programming 42(6): 1012-1031, 2014.  Type: Article

Structured parallel programming is employed to effectively address challenges in parallel programming. Recently, Danelutto et al. [1] proposed a set of architecture-independent, reusable, parallel building blocks (RISC-pb2l)...

  Boosting CUDA applications with CPU-GPU hybrid computing
Lee C., Ro W., Gaudiot J. International Journal of Parallel Programming 42(2): 384-404, 2014.  Type: Article

As host processors (central processing units (CPUs)) and accelerators (graphics processing units (GPUs)) evolve to become more efficient for parallel workloads, the performance penalty for allowing either resource to remain idle is too...

  Cost-directed refactoring for parallel Erlang programs
Brown C., Danelutto M., Hammond K., Kilpatrick P., Elliott A. International Journal of Parallel Programming 42(4): 564-582, 2014.  Type: Article

A skeleton abstracts a common pattern of parallelism, so that after being defined once by experts, it can be used many times in different contexts by programmers that are non-experts in the field of parallel computing. Moreover, the co...

  Impact of reverse computing on information locality in register allocation for high performance computing
Bahi M., Eisenbeis C. International Journal of Parallel Programming 42(1): 49-76, 2014.  Type: Article

For computers dedicated to high-performance computing (HPC) applications, computation is virtually free, while data access shows up as the main cost factor. This iconoclastic view is even more valid when looking at graphics processing ...

  The Blue Gene/L supercomputer: a hardware and software story
Moreira J., Salapura V., Almasi G., Archer C., Bellofatto R., Bergner P., Bickford R., Blumrich M., Brunheroto J., Bright A., Brutman M., Castaños J., Chen D., Coteus P., Crumley P., Ellis S., Engelsiepen T., Gara A., Giampapa M., Gooding T., Hall S., Haring R., Haskin R., Heidelberger P., Hoenicke D., Inglett T., Kopcsay G., Lieber D., Limpert D., McCarthy P., Megerian M., Mundy M., Ohmacht M., Parker J., Rand R., Reed D., Sahoo R., Sanomiya A., Shok R., Smith B., Stewart G., Takken T., Vranas P., Wallenfelt B., Blocksome M., Ratterman J. International Journal of Parallel Programming 35(3): 181-206, 2007.  Type: Article

The IBM Blue Gene/L supercomputer at the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory was ranked first on the TOP500 Web site in November 2005. In this paper, authored by more than 40 IBM staff members, the architecture, rollout, and accompl...

  Amdahl’s law revisited for single chip systems
Paul J., Meyer B. International Journal of Parallel Programming 35(2): 101-123, 2007.  Type: Article, Reviews: (2 of 2)

Paul and Meyer reexamine the implications of Amdahl’s law on single-chip heterogeneous multiprocessor (SCHM) designs. Amdahl’s law does not consider the properties of heterogeneity and finiteness that are present in...

  Amdahl’s law revisited for single chip systems
Paul J., Meyer B. International Journal of Parallel Programming 35(2): 101-123, 2007.  Type: Article, Reviews: (1 of 2)

Amdahl’s law is about the overall system speedup when performance improvements affect only some fraction of that system. In this paper, Paul and Meyer argue that this law is incomplete: it does not take into consideration the...

  Metacomputing with mobile agents
Evripidou P., Samaras G. International Journal of Parallel Programming 34(5): 429-458, 2006.  Type: Article

Pervasive computing poses a dilemma: ever-increasing amounts of data must be generated and integrated increasingly quickly, but the work must be performed by smaller computers dispersed over greater computational distances. Parallel co...

  Generic programming and high-performance libraries
Gregor D., Järvi J., Kulkarni M., Lumsdaine A., Musser D., Schupp S. International Journal of Parallel Programming 33(2): 145-164, 2005.  Type: Article

It isn’t clear how this paper relates to the journal in which it appears. Parallel programming does not appear in this 20-page paper before page 16, where it is discussed for a little over a page. Moreover, the abstract does ...

  Semi-automatic composition of loop transformations for deep parallelism and memory hierarchies
Girbal S., Vasilache N., Bastoul C., Cohen A., Parello D., Sigler M., Temam O. International Journal of Parallel Programming 34(3): 261-317, 2006.  Type: Article

The research presented in this paper is important and fruitful. However, it is not very accessible due to its length (56 pages) and presentation....
