Activity:

The ParaPhrase project aims to produce a new structured design and implementation process for heterogeneous parallel architectures, where developers exploit a variety of parallel patterns to develop component based applications that can be mapped to the available hardware resources, and which may then be dynamically re-mapped to meet application needs and hardware availability.

Key Features are

  • Sustainable parallel computing through enhanced programmability and lower power consumption.
  • Cost reduction in programmability and implementation of parallel systems.
  • Better resource utilisation of parallel heterogeneous CPU/GPU architectures.
 

This work will enable major progress to be made in programming both current and future (parallel) computer systems. Using ParaPhrase technologies, we anticipate that we will be able to achieve significant parallel speedups for realistic applications and that these results will scale with larger systems.

The specific aims of ParaPhrase are:
  • To develop high-level design and implementation patterns that are capable of easily exposing useful parallelism for a wide range of parallel applications running on heterogeneous multicore/manycore systems.
  • To develop new dynamic mechanisms to support adaptivity for  heterogeneous multicore/manycore systems, so demonstrating the general deployability of the pattern-based approach to parallelism.
  • To verify that these patterns and adaptivity mechanisms can be used easily and effectively to develop a wide range of real-world applications for heterogeneous multicore/manycore systems.
  • To ensure that there is scope for widespread takeup of the patterns and adaptivity mechanisms that will be developed by the ParaPhrase project.
