The VT architectural paradigm unifies the vector and multithreaded compute models. VT provides the programmer with a control processor and a vector of virtual processors. The control processor can use vector-fetch commands to broadcast instructions to all the VPs or each VP can use thread-fetches to direct its own control flow. A seamless intermixing of the vector and threaded control mechanisms allows a VT architecture to flexibly and compactly encode application paral- lelism and locality. VT architectures can efficiently exploit a wide variety of loop-level parallelism, including non-vectorizable loops with cross-iteration dependencies or internal control flow.

It describes computers with multiple processing elements that perform the same operation on multiple data simultaneously. Thus, such machines exploit data level parallelism. History The first use of SIMD instructions was in vector supercomputers of the early 1970s such as the CDC Star-100 and the Texas Instruments ASC, which could operate on a vector of data with a single instruction. Vector processing was especially popularized by Cray in the 1970s and 1980s. Vector-processing architectures are now considered separate from SIMD machines, based on the fact that vector machines processed the vectors one word at a time through pipelined processors (though still based on a single instruction), whereas modern SIMD machines process all elements of the vector simultaneously.[1] The first era of modern SIMD machines was characterized by massively parallel processing-style supercomputers such as the Thinking Machines CM-1 and CM-2. These machines had many limited-functionality processors that would work in parallel.

  • Demystifying Parallel and Distributed Deep Learning: an In-Depth Concurrency Analysis
    1 Demystifying Parallel and Distributed Deep Learning: An In-Depth Concurrency Analysis TAL BEN-NUN and TORSTEN HOEFLER, ETH Zurich, Switzerland Deep Neural Networks (DNNs) are becoming an important tool in modern computing applications. Accelerating their training is a major challenge and techniques range from distributed algorithms to low-level circuit design. In this survey, we describe the problem from a theoretical perspective, followed by approaches for its parallelization. We present trends in DNN architectures and the resulting implications on parallelization strategies. We then review and model the different types of concurrency in DNNs: from the single operator, through parallelism in network inference and training, to distributed deep learning. We discuss asynchronous stochastic optimization, distributed system architectures, communication schemes, and neural architecture search. Based on those approaches, we extrapolate potential directions for parallelism in deep learning.
