| Abstract: |
In this paper, we introduce SPM (Software-built Parallel Machines), a model to create software based virtual parallel machines. With SPM, an application developer simply selects all the required virtual parallel machines from the repository and implements the intended parallel algorithms directly without any need of complex mappings, as if the required processor interconnections are readily available. In addition, we present an implementation of the SPM model, which provides a systematic way to design new virtual machines. Our experiments show that the applications developed using the SPM model and tools give excellent performance, as compared to the applications developed using a generic communication library, such as MPI.
