Parallel Algorithm Fundamentals And Analysis, Bruce M. Mcmillin, Hanan Lutfiyya, Grace Tsai, Jun-Lin Liu
Computer Science Technical Reports
This session explores, through the use of formal methods, the “intuition” used in creating a parallel algorithm design and realizing this design on distributed memory hardware. The algorithm class NC and the LSTM machine are used to show why some algorithms realize their promise of speedup better than others and the algorithm class NP is used to show why other algorithms will never be good for parallelization. Performance and correctness through cooperative axiomatic reasoning and temporal reasoning provide an additional basis for understanding parallel algorithm design and specification. Finally, the realities of algorithm design are presented through partitioning and mapping …
