ABSTRACT

The developing Processor Array experiment/Combined Aerodynamic and Structural Dynamic Problem Emulating Routines language is simple and requires the user to make specific statements concerning choices for the management of each parallel computational phase. Statements involving the enablement of a succeeding phase could be made at two times: during the definition of a computational phase to the management system, and during the invocation of the phase for actual computations. Various solutions to the computational rundown problem may be acceptable. Some parallel processing schemes for general purpose computation may choose simply to accept the lower processor utilization as a minor design flaw. The successor computation description could be removed from the computation description and included in the successor-splitting task information. When the successor-splitting task is executed, the successor computation could be split and requeued to the appropriate computation descriptions. Computations were, instead, described as large, contiguous collections of granules.
