Abstract

Enforcement of data dependence in parallel algorithms requires certain synchronization primitives. For simple data dependence, synchronization primitives like Full/Empty bit in HEP machine [5] can be very effective. However, if data dependence cannot be determined at compile time, or if very complicated, more efficient synchronization schemes and algorithms are needed.
