Category:Parallel programming
In a parallel program, the computational work to be performed by the application is divided into a number of work packages. These work packages can then be assigned to a number of processing elements (e.g. cores on a modern multi-core processors or GPU) and have them executed independently. This should deliver a faster time to solution, when compared to utilising a single processing element only. By deploying several hundreds or thousands of processing elements, calculations which would otherwise take many years to complete can be completed in month or even weeks.
In a typical parallel program the work packages are however not fully independent. They frequently require access to data generated or modified on other processing elements. This data then needs communicating. When using a distributed memory system communication is typically facilitated by deploying some form of message passing. On a shared memory system (e.g. multi core system) all computational threads have access to a common shared memory space, which allows data communication between the processing elements.
