EARTH-IBM-SP Plan to implement EARTH on a off-the-shelf Comercial Parallel Machine (IBM SP2/SP3) EARTH on Clusters EARTH on Beowulf Implement EARTH on a cluster of UltraSPARC SMP workstations connected by fast Ethernet EARTH Evaluation Platforms NOTE: Benchmark code are all written with EARTH Threaded-C: The API for EARTH Execution and Abstract Machine Models 精品文档 EARTH-MANNA: An Implementation of The EARTH Architecture Model 精品文档 Open Issues Can a multithreaded program execution model support high scalability for large-scale parallel computing while maintaining high processing efficiency? If so, can this be achieved without exotic hardware support? Can these open issues be addressed both qualitatively and quantitatively with performance studies of real-life benchmarks (both Class A B)? 精品文档 cluster cluster cluster cluster cluster cluster cluster Crossbar- Hierarchies cluster cluster cluster cluster cluster cluster cluster cluster cluster Crossbar Node Node Node Node Node 4 Cluster i860XP Node CP i860XP CP Network Interface I/O 32 Mbyte Memory 8 8 The EARTH-MANNA Multiprocessor Testbed 精品文档 Main Features of EARTH Multiprocessor Fast thread context switching Efficient parallel function invocation Good support of fine-grain dynamic load balancing Efficient support split-phase transaction The concept of fibers and dataflow Using off-the-shelf microprocessors 精品文档 McCAT EARTH-C Compiler Threaded-C Com
