Abstract

Skeletal parallel programming enables programmers to build a parallel program from ready-made components (parallel primitives) for which efficient implementations are known to exist, making both the parallel program development and the parallelization process easier. Constructing efficient parallel programs is often difficult, however, due to difficulties in selecting a proper combination of parallel primitives and in implementing this combination without having unnecessary creations and exchanges of data among parallel primitives and processors. To overcome these difficulties, we propose a powerful and general parallel skeleton, accumulate, which can be used to naturally code efficient solutions to problems as well as be efficiently implemented in parallel using Message Passing InterFace (MPI).
