In this paper we propose a generic pipeline for all-pairs computations on a cluster of workstations. We use this generic pipeline to derive specific cluster algorithms for three different all-pairs problems: n-body simulation, bubble sort, and Gaussian elimination. We implement the generic pipeline and its derivatives on a cluster of Intel Pentium II workstations using C and the PVM cluster computing environment. We measure and evaluate the performance of the derived algorithms. The n-body and bubble sort algorithms achieve super-linear speedup for large problems.
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.
