SPM 2015 final project
Final project text
The final project text includes three different possibilities for two different kind of projects, namely the implementation of a parallel pattern and the parallelization of a well known application/kernel. The full text (PDF document) of the project may be found following this link.
| Name | Notes |
|---|---|
| Skeleton project | |
| MapReduce | none |
| MultiPool | none |
| Free | none |
| FastFlow “low level” skeletons may be used to implement the skeletons. The “pool” skeleton should not be used to implement the MultiPool. | |
| Application project | |
| Parallel prefix | none |
| Fishes and sharks | none |
| Free | |
Target architectures
Andromeda
This is a dual socket, 4 cores (2 way hyperthreading) Nehalem Intel architecture. It should be used just in case you decide to use Java or Skandium. Instructions to access andromeda may be found here.
Xeon PHI
This is an 8 core SandyBridge host with a Xeon PHI PCIe card. The Xeon PHI hosts 60 4-way hyperthreading cores (Linux). Instructions to access the Xeon PHI may be found here.
