Today’s Goal:
• Introduce you to Parallel Computer Architecture
• Answer your questions about CS 258
• Provide you a sense of the trends that shape the
field
1/19/99 CS258 S99 3
What will you get out of CS258?
• In-depth understanding of the design and
engineering of modern parallel computers
– technology forces
– fundamental architectural issues
» naming, replication, communication, synchronization
– basic design techniques
» cache coherence, protocols, networks, pipelining, …
– methods of evaluation
– underlying engineering trade-offs
• from moderate to very large scale
• across the hardware/software boundary

Will it be worthwhile?
• Absolutely!
– even through few of you will become PP designers
• The fundamental issues and solutions translate
across a wide spectrum of systems.
– Crisp solutions in the context of parallel machines.
• Pioneered at the thin-end of the platform pyramid
on the most-demanding applications
– migrate downward with time
• Understand implications
for software

Am I going to read my book to you?
• NO!
• Book provides a framework and complete
background, so lectures can be more interactive.
– You do the reading
– We’ll discuss it
• Projects will go “beyond”

What is Parallel Architecture?
• A parallel computer is a collection of processing
elements that cooperate to solve large problems
fast
• Some broad issues:
– Resource Allocation:
» how large a collection?
» how powerful are the elements?
» how much memory?
– Data access, Communication and Synchronization
» how do the elements cooperate and communicate?
» how are data transmitted between processors?
» what are the abstractions and primitives for cooperation?
– Performance and Scalability
» how does it all translate into performance?
» how does it scale?
