In this paper we consider productivity challenges for parallel programmers and explore ways
that parallel language design might help improve end-user productivity. We offer a …

SIMD parallelism has become an increasingly important mechanism for delivering
performance in modern CPUs, due its power efficiency and relatively low cost in die area …

Abstract Partitioned Global Address Space (PGAS) models, typified by languages such as
Unified Parallel C (UPC) and Co-Array Fortran, expose one-sided communication as a key …

Co-array Fortran (CAF) and Unified Parallel C (UPC) are two emerging languages for single-
program, multiple-data global address space programming. These languages boost …

This paper demonstrates the one-sided communication used in languages like UPC can
provide a significant performance advantage for bandwidth-limited applications. This is …

De novo whole genome assembly reconstructs genomic sequence from short, overlap**,
and potentially erroneous fragments called reads. We study optimized parallelization of the …

Speeding up sequential programs on multicores is a challenging problem that is in urgent
need of a solution. Automatic parallelization of irregular pointer-intensive codes, exemplified …

The development of microprocessors design has been shifting to multi-core architectures.
Therefore, it is expected that parallelism will play a significant role in future generations of …

Compiler-based auto-parallelization is a much-studied area but has yet to find widespread
application. This is largely due to the poor identification and exploitation of application …

Global address space languages like UPC exhibit high performance and portability on a
broad class of shared and distributed memory parallel architectures. The most scalable …
