2PARMA: Parallel Paradigms and Run-time Management Techniques for Many-core Architectures.

Abstract

The 2PARMA project focuses on the development of parallel programming models and run-time resource management techniques to exploit the features of many-core processor architectures. The main goals of the 2PARMA project are: the definition of a parallel programming model combining component-based and single-instructionmultiple-thread approaches, instruction set virtualisation based on portable byte-code, run-time resourcemanagement policies and mechanisms as well as design space exploration methodologies for many-core computing architectures.
