The Control Mechanism for the Myrias Parallel Computer System
Monica Beltrametti
Myrias Research Corporation
Edmonton, Alberta
This talk presents an overview of the issues involved in the design of
the control mechanism used by the Myrias parallel computer system to
manage the execution of parallel programs. The following issues are
discussed: initial task distribution, dynamic load leveling,
hierarchical caching, task synchronization, memory management, and
scalability. Some of the more important points are illustrated using
performance measurements obtained by running some test programs on the
Myrias Research Corporation prototype system.
