Title | BOS is Boss: A Case for Bulk-Synchronous Object Systems | Author(s) | Mark Goudreau, Kevin Lang, Girija J. Narlikar, Satish B. Rao | Type | Article in Conference Proceedings | Abstract | A key issue for parallel systems is the development of useful programming
abstractions that can coexist with good performance. We describe a communication library that supports an object-based abstraction with a bulk-synchronous communication style; this is the first time such a library has been proposed and implemented. By restricting the library to the exclusive use of barrier synchronization, we are able to design a simple and easy-to-use object system. By exploiting established techniques based on the bulk-synchronous parallel (BSP) model, we are able to design algorithms and library implementations that work well across platforms. | Length | 11 |
