OpenMP has been very successful in exploiting structured parallelism in applications. With
increasing application complexity, there is a growing need for addressing irregular …

Traditional parallel applications have exploited regular parallelism, based on parallel loops.
Only a few applications exploit sections parallelism. With the release of the new OpenMP …

In the late 1990s, powerful economic forces led to the adoption of commodity desktop
processors in high-performance computing. This transformation has been so effective that …

Parallel programming on SMP and multi-core architectures is hard. In this paper we present
a programming model for those environments based on automatic function level parallelism …

OpenMP is in the process of adding a tasking model that allows the programmer to specify
independent units of work, called tasks, but does not specify how the scheduling of these …

In task parallel languages, an important factor for achieving a good performance is the use
of a cut-off technique to reduce the number of tasks created. Using a cut-off to avoid an …

We discuss an algorithm that optimizes the driving style of a train. The objective is to
minimize the electrical energy used for traction subject to constraints such as the travel time …

OpenMP has gained wide popularity as an API for parallel programming on shared memory
and distributed shared memory platforms. Despite its broad availability, there remains a …

A source-to-source compiler is a type of translator that accepts the source code of a program
written in a programming language as its input and produces an equivalent source code in …

In this paper we present the Task-Aware MPI library (TAMPI) that integrates both blocking
and non-blocking MPI primitives with task-based programming models. The TAMPI library …
