Application of the ParalleX execution model to stencil-based problems

摘要

In the prospect of the upcoming exa-scale era with millions of execution units, the question of how to deal with this level of parallelism efficiently is of time-critical relevance. State-of-the-Art parallelization techniques such as OpenMP and MPI are not guaranteed to solve the expected problems of starvation, growing latencies, overheads, and contention. On the other hand, new parallelization paradigms promise to efficiently hide latencies and contain starvation and contention.
