Abstract

Parallel structuring of External Memory operations has been a relatively unexplored area in Parallel Processing. This thesis effort describes an effective parallel formulation of two I/O-intensive seismic data processing algorithms on a large shared-memory multiprocessor system. Simulation modeling has been used as the vehicle for performance evaluation. Results suggest that applications which are I/O bound in most uniprocessors would probably become more compute-bound in memory-rich environments that are characteristic of large multiprocessor systems.
