“…This helps find places of the required size for a given performance level and also allows for a measure of load balancing when many small families are created on a single large place. In SVP, concurrency creation is synchronized by default, but this may be too strict and hold creating thread back if the synchronization is not necessary [14]. Thus, support for asynchronous creation is also potentially useful.…”

The continuing launch of various multi-core processors backs parallel computing for gaining higher performance; however, it also exerts pressures on software developers concerning how to make full use of the multiplicity of resources to get the required benefits due to high coupling of parallel programs to specified hardware. In this paper, we propose SVP, a micro-threading based concurrency model, as an alternative to efficiently program on and manage multicore, even many-core systems. SVP isolates programming from executing resources so that programs are compiled once and execute regardless of actual cores available, not only numbers, but also properties to achieve scalable speedup. Such lower coupling, better flexibility and portability in parallel applications are highly appreciated. To investigate SVP, tool chains and a fully functional software simulator of an SVP many-core chip have been developed for test and verification. Using this infrastructure, we are able to show how much we can gain from SVP and how speedup is scaled by running the same binary code of Game of Life on a scalable many-core platform.
