Cloud Computing (CC) - Arquitectura de Sistemas Computacionais

Data Parallelism – an important Paradigm
capturing typical structures of patterns usually
found in application programs
- Parallel execution of the same operation on different parts of a data set
(arrays, sets, list, etc)
- elementary and complex operations
- two styles: SIMD and SPMD
Architecture focus: single address space
and also physically distributed memory
program variables are visible to all processes but
data distribution is critical
Target architectures may be SIMD, NUMA
but also SMP and Clusters and Grids
