• Abstract

  Prema is a runtime support system for parallel compilers and problem solving environments that target scientific computing applications. Prema is designed to run on a variety of MPP and SMP computers and suppots:

  • global address space memory model
  • data and task parallel programming models
  • multithreaded style of execution
  • automatic work-sharing mechanism (dynamic load balancing)

• Introduction
• Algorithms
  • scheduling/pipelining/graph coloring
  • dynamic/static load balancing
  • data distribution
• Software Architecture
• Applications
  • Parallel BLAS for sparse matrices
  • Parallel Adaptive Mesh Refinement
  • Parallel Delaunay Traingulation
• Preliminary Performance Data
• Future Directions
