AP1000- ARCHITECTURAL SUPPORT OF PUT( )GET INTERFACE FOR PARALLELIZING COMPILER/

The scalability of distributed-memory parallel computers makes them at tractive candidates for solving large-scale problems. New languages, s uch as HPF, FortranD, and VPP Fortran, have been developed to enable e xisting software to be easily ported to such machines. Many distribute d-memory parallel computers have been built, but none of them support the mechanisms required by such languages. We studied the mechanisms r equired by parallelizing compilers and proposed a new architecture to support them. Based on this proposed architecture, we developed a new distributed-memory parallel computer, the AP1000+, which is an enhance d version of the AP1000. Using scientific applications in VPP Fortran and C, such as NAS parallel benchmarks, we simulate the performance of the AP1000+.
