PC-based Shared Memory Architecture and language

摘要

The Image Processing applications require both computing and communication power. The object of the GFLOPS project was to study all aspects concerning the design of such computers. The project's aim was to develop a parallel architecture as well as its software environment of implement these applications efficiently. A development environment, especially a C data-parallel language, has been built for this purpose. The C// parallel language presented here, simplifies the use of such architectures by providing the programmer with a global name space and a control mechanism to exploit fine and medium grain parallelism of its applications.
