Literature Survey on Tools
Abstract
This literature survey of parallel programming tools, including more than 200 references, is designed to allow continued browsing and probing of different specific areas of interest. Therefore, the first look at parallel programming tools is a broad one, where each reference article is briefly described. Keywords (or phrases) were assigned and provided in sorts by author and by assignment to a hierarchy of high performance computing technology. This hierarchy ranges from algorithms through tools environments to architectures and technology. A table of commercial programming tools is also provided. At the most focuses level, a review is made of articles providing information which is important to support signal processing parallel tools. A general discussion of the state-of-the-technology, and definitions and discussions of key terms, and concepts of parallel computing are also given. Designing and building multiprocessors has proceeded at a dramatic pace; the development of effective ways to program them generally has not. Yet, software development is the most critical element in a system's design. The immense complexity of parallel computation can only increase our dependency on software.
