Abstract

Experimental data validating some of the proposed parallel computation models on the Intel Paragon is presented. This architecture is characterized by a large bandwidth and a relatively large startup cost of a message transmission, which makes it extremely important to employ bulk transfers. The models considered are the BSP model, in which it is assumed that all messages have a fixed short size, and the BPRAM, in which block transfers are rewarded.
