Abstract-We present Huckleberry, a tool for automatically generating parallel implementations for multi-core platforms from sequential recursive divide-and-conquer programs. The recursive programming model is a good match for parallel systems because it highlights the temporal and spatial locality of data use. Recursive algorithms are used by Huckleberry's code generator not only to automatically divide a problem up into smaller tasks, but also to derive lower-level parts of the implementation, such as data distribution and inter-core synchronization mechanisms. We apply Huckleberry to a multicore platform based on the Cell BE processor and show how it generates parallel code for a variety of sequential benchmarks.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
