Abstract

This thesis presents BDDT-SCC, a task-parallel runtime system for the Intel Single-Chip Cloud Computer. The BDDT-SCC runtime includes a dynamic dependence analysis and automatic synchronization, and executes OpenMP-Ss tasks on a non cache-coherent architecture. We design a runtime that uses fast on-chip inter-core communication with small messages. At the same time, we use non coherent shared memory to avoid large core-to-core data transfers that would incur a high volume of unnecessary copying. We evaluate BDDT-SCC on a set of representative benchmarks, in terms of task granularity, locality, and communication. We find that memory locality and allocation plays a very important role in performance, as the architecture of the SCC memory controllers can create strong contention effects. We suggest patterns that improve memory locality and thus the performance of applications, and measure their impact.
