Abstract

We describe the Queuing Shared-Memory (QSM) and Bulk-Synchronous Parallel (BSP) models of parallel computation. The former is shared-memory and the latter is distributed-memory. Both models use the 'bulk-synchronous' paradigm introduced by the BSP model. We describe the relationship of these two models to each other and to the 'LogP' model, and give an overview of algorithmic results on these models.
