BSP MODEL AND SCALABLE PARALLEL PROGRAMMING

Un Y

Abstract

Currently, the great challenge to computer science is to establish parallel computing as the standard method of computing, and develop a foundation for the architecture independent programming of the range of scalable parallel systems. The bulk synchronous parallel (BSP)approach described in this paper provides just such a foundation and a bridging model between parallel hardware and parallel software. It offers the prospect of achieving both scalable parallel performance and architecture independent parallel software, and provides a framework which permits assessing the performance of parallel and distributive systems in a precise way. In this paper we describe the BSP model and show how to develop parallel programs in BSP style by an example.
