PM2 (album)
Parallel Multithreaded Machine (PM2) is a software for parallel networking of computers. PM2 is an open-source distributed multithreaded programming environment designed to support efficiently distributed programs with a highly irregular behavior (e.g. branch and bound search, computation on sparse matrices, etc.) on distributed architectures. It is distributed under the GPL. PM2 adheres to the SPMD (''Single Program Multiple Data'') programming model, in a way very similar to the PVM and MPI communication libraries. The user writes a single program text, a copy of which is launched by a specific ''load'' command on each ''processing node'' of the current configuration. It is up to the programmer to include branching so as to differentiate between the processing nodes. This way it allows a network of heterogeneous machines to be used as a single distributed parallel processor. It is primarily designed for medium-size clusters of commodity processing nodes interconnected by high-p ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
