Allocation Strategies for APL on the CHiP (Configurable Highly Parallel) Computer

Abstract

This master's thesis describes a series of experiments in which APL programs were mapped onto the processor elements of nonshared memory parallel computers and their concurrent execution was simulated. The effects of selecting one of several different array allocation schemes, different data routing policies and several processor topologies are reported. The general question of executing 'shared memory programming languages' on nonshared memory parallel computers is briefly considered.
