Coarse Grain to Mixed Grain Parallel Computing
Abstract: Parallel computing interests are growing again as a result of multicore processors. History of parallel computing dates back to early 1970’s when supercomputers supported high performance computing demand for scientific applications. Today, highly dense Very Large Scale Integration (VLSI) chips have opened up new opportunities and challenges for parallel computing. In this article, we provide a short synopsis of an evolutionary path of parallel computing from both hardware granularity and …

Dynamic Data Flow Based Spatial Sorting Method for GPUs: Software Based Autonomous Parallelization
Abstract: The direct communication between distant parts of a computer system for a mesh or grid based scalable parallel system isn't cost effective. Thus, we have presented and evaluated the performances of spatial sorting method for multi-core GPUs (Graphic Processing Unit) computing. It is a parallel sorting algorithm for autonomous threading of workload which is considerably faster than Thrust Merge sorting, which is known to be the best comparison based sorting …

Edge Split Mapping Parallel Algorithm for Tetrahedral Mesh Refinement on Distributed Memory Systems
Abstract: In this paper we have described a parallel mesh refining algorithm based on edge split mapping parallel algorithm for on a distributed memory system; that aids the user in auto-managing the assignment of processor workload and subdivision of the 3d-mesh. We discussed the design and performance of the algorithm which speeds up the processing of the instructions over a multi-core processor.Keywords: Parallel algorithm, Distributed memory, Mesh Refinement
