Am i right? can i use a network to run an explicit parallel progam on it.. and what language should i use to do parallel programming? Thanx.</FONT></P> Mon, 14 Jul 2008 18:43:09 GMT rohini2018 2008-07-14T18:43:09Z https://community.intel.com/t5/Intel-Moderncode-for-Parallel/Parallel-Programming/m-p/856656#M2128 <P align="left"><FONT face="Arial" size="2">I m graduate in computer sc. but hv very little knowledge of parallel programming. i do hv read subjects on parallel computing. but practically i know nothing. i wish to explore the field of parallel programming. but required hardware support is needed to makea parallel program worth it. so far i hv worked on simple desktop computer and networks of autonomous systems each having a processor chip, ram, hard disk etc. i wish to know about the configuration of a system to run a parallel progam on it. i mean a system having two or more processors, memory etc. As far as i perceive a network having 2 or more autonomous systems can also be made to behave like a multiprocessor system that can work together to run a parallel program by explicitly executing a portion of a program on one processor and other portion on another processor and then combine the results through parallel program.

Parallel programming for a multi-core system most often uses threading, such as OpenMP or TBB. Fortran, C, and C++ are in widespread use for both MPI and OpenMP programming, with large programs commonly using 2 of them. "hybrid" combinations of MPI and OpenMP are becoming increasingly important.<BR /> Wed, 16 Jul 2008 00:50:53 GMT https://community.intel.com/t5/Intel-Moderncode-for-Parallel/Parallel-Programming/m-p/856657#M2129 TimP 2008-07-16T00:50:53Z
