One measure used for the analysis of parallel algorithms is the cost, defined to be the parallel running time multiplied by the number of processors employed by the algorithm. When the cost is proportional to a lower bound on the number of operations for a general sequential solution to the problem, the parallel method is called “cost optimal.” Thus information concerning an optimal.
It is part of the thesis of this course that message-based parallel solutions are relatively low level, difficult to write, and difficult to debug. The purpose of most of these application-based projects is to demonstrate a task-based parallel solution. Of course, task-based solutions usually use messages at a lower layer. But the higher task-based abstraction hides the details of message.
But hand-coding for a wide range of SIMD instruction sets can increase complexity, is time-consuming, and increases maintenance costs. For example, if you want to target multiple ISAs, you need to write multiple algorithms. This decreases productivity and increases code complexity.
PARALLEL ALGORITHMS FOR WEIGHTED GRAPHS Although most parallel graph algorithms reported in the literature are for unweighted graphs, some work has been done on developing parallel algorithms for weighted graphs. In this section we survey the results that have been reported thus far. As before, our primary goal is to pinpoint data structures and procedures that may be useful in developing new.

Stream processing is a computer programming paradigm, equivalent to dataflow programming, event stream processing, and reactive programming, that allows some applications to more easily exploit a limited form of parallel processing.Such applications can use multiple computational units, such as the floating point unit on a graphics processing unit or field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs.
An attached array processor is a processor which is attached to a general purpose computer and its purpose is to enhance and improve the performance of that computer in numerical computational tasks. It achieves high performance by means of parallel processing with multiple functional units.
