“…A considerable amount of research in the area of visual environments have been carried out aimed at the development of software able to reduce the difficulties found in the development of parallel systems. This effort resulted in user-friendly tools such as TEV [8], PVMGraph [9], Millipede [10], TRAPPER [11] and GRADE [12,13]. Even though there are several differences between these environments, they all focus on making the program development easier, providing graphical representations to map paradigms or libraries designed for the development of parallel systems.…”

The concepts involved in the programming process of multicore systems have been quite well known for decades. The problem is to produce it in a form as easy as sequential programming. This new trend will change the way we think about the whole development process. We will show that it is possible to develop a multicore embedded system application using existing tools and the model-driven development process proposed. To do this, two tools will be used: VisualRTXC (available at www.quadrosbrasil.com.br) for generating the multithread communication/synchronization structures and a performance tool called TAU (available at

“…If the user is familiar with both the topology (that is, the structure and processor/link performances) of the target network and the topology (that is, the parallel structure) of the application, then, by means of use of such configuration files, he or she can map the processes, which constitute the program, onto processors of the network, to provide the most efficient execution of the program. Some tools that support and facilitate such a static mapping have appeared [15]. But if the application topology is defined at run time (that is, if it depends on input data), this approach will not work.…”

The paper presents a new parallel language, mpC, designed specially for programming high-performance computations on heterogeneous networks of computers, as well as its supportive programming environment. The main idea underlying mpC is that an mpC application explicitly defines an abstract network and distributes data, computations and communications over the network. The mpC programming environment uses at run time this information as well as information about any real executing network in order to map the application to the real network in such a way that ensures efficient execution of the application on this real network. Experience of using mpC for solving both regular and irregular real-life problems on networks of heterogeneous computers is also presented.

“…PVMbuilder includes both the data flow as the communication between processes as well as the control flow within each process. Therefore, it differs from purely process-based tools such as TRAPPER [4] and the higher level abstraction tools such as Enterprise [9] which represents the program as a template or pattern that abstracts away all of the underlying communication.…”

Message-passing is often used to implement parallel programs to run on workstation clusters. However, writing message-passing programs is a difficult and error prone task. In this paper we describe a graphical interface called PVMbuilder to support the construction of PVM programs. We show the tool produces little overhead in comparison to the hand-written PVM program. PVMbuilder provides a higher level abstract view of the program and supports dynamic process creation along with automatic generation of PVM communication calls.
