Data Parallelism characteristics
Program simplicity:
- only one Thread of control (the others are implicit slaves)
- sequence of data parallel steps, mixed w. sequential steps
Data set is split in subsets or domains, each assigned to a PE
- data distribution must be specified by the program
- ideally domains are independently processed
but may require communication that is implicitly triggered
when remotely placed variable are referenced: owner keeps the
data
and sends a copy to the requesting PE
