A case study on expressiveness and performance of component-oriented parallel programming

摘要

Component-oriented programming has been applied to address the requirements of large-scale applications from computational sciences and engineering that present high performance computing (HPC) requirements. However, parallelism continues to be a challenging requirement in the design of CBHPC (Component-Based High Performance Computing) platforms. This paper presents strong evidence about the efficacy and the efficiency of HPE (Hash Programming Environment), a CBHPC platform that provides full support for parallel programming, on the development, deployment and execution of numerical simulation code onto cluster computing platforms.
