Abstract

Recent trends in hardware, such as IBM's Cell Broadband Engine and GPUs that can be used for general-purpose computing, have made widely available systems for which a SIMD (Single Instruction, Multiple Data) style of data-parallel programming is appropriate. This paper presents a pattern to help software developers construct parallel programs for environments that support this style of data parallelism. In this approach, the program is viewed as a single thread of control, with implicitly parallel updates to data. This pattern is a new addition to the Pattern Language for Parallel Programming (PLPP) presented in our previous work [18, 19].
