I am wondering if there is any work on software for true parallism at the software level on any of the new Quad-Core chips? Unfortunately, during my
what would "false" parallelism mean? it's pretty common to use thread-level parallelism in linpack/blas type libraries, as well as openmp.
systems so parallel ESSL does me little good and I would have to recode a lot of things to use the ESSL routines. I am now retired but still using
I think you don't literally mean ESSL, but rather some parallel library (such as threaded linpack/blas/etc.) and I think the answer is that you can pretty easily use OpenMP if you would like to parallelize your own code.
The question is whether ESSL or Parallel-ESSL is needed to do true parallel computing on a Quad-core chip?
these parallel libraries have no parallel magic to them - nothing which is not accessible to you via OpenMP (or some other threading
mechanism) and the compiler's data-parallel (SIMD SSE, etc) code generation.
working on making a Quad-core CPU parallel (preferably f77 or f99) under RedHat LINUX?
sure, it's already there. commercial compilers led GCC for a long time, but even GCC has OpenMP support now (gfortran/gomp).
If I install RedHat LINUX on a Quad-core CPU (thus avoiding a high speed switch) what would be needed to run parallel f77, a new compiler?
possibly just an upgrade to the compiler. regards, mark hahn. _______________________________________________ Beowulf mailing list, Beowulf@beowulf.org To change your subscription (digest mode or unsubscribe) visit http://www.beowulf.org/mailman/listinfo/beowulf
