  • Generating local addresses and communication sets for data-parallel programs
    Patent number: 5450313
    Abstract: An optimizing compilation process generates executable code which defines the computation and communication actions that are to be taken by each individual processor of a computer having a distributed memory, parallel processor architecture to run a program written in a data-parallel language. To this end, local memory layouts of the one-dimensional and multidimensional arrays that are used in the program are derived from one-level and two-level data mappings consisting of alignment and distribution, so that array elements are laid out in canonical order and local memory space is conserved.
