[comp.parallel] parallel programming methodologies

slim@tut.cis.ohio-state.edu (Scott Whitman) (06/21/88)

A while back, I requested information on how to analyze parallel programs, I
am still collecting this list and when it is complete, I will post it. However,
now I am interested in papers related to methods and characteristics on 
programming algorithms for parallel machines.  I have several on specific
algorithms ( the usual sorting, matrix mult., etc. ) but I would rather look
at papers that deal with more general issues such as load balancing, CPU
utilization, decomposition, communication overhead, and how these and other
issues are handled in algorithms.  In fact, it would be interesting to know
what other issues are relevant.  It doesn't seem (from my knowledge at least )
that anyone has put together a listing of relevant problems and solutions to
writing parallel programs.  Any info on this subject would be helpful.

		Thanks,
