The Department works in three main interlinked areas: (i) it compiles, generates and analyses a wide range of economic, social and environmental data and information on which Member States of the United Nations draw to review common problems and to take stock of policy options; (ii) it facilitates the negotiations of Member States in many intergovernmental bodies on joint courses of action to address ongoing or emerging global challenges; and (iii) it advises interested Governments on the ways and means of translating policy frameworks developed in United Nations conferences and summits into programmes at the country level and, through technical assistance, helps build national capacities.

  • Performing the Shuffle with the PM2I and Illiac SIMD Interconnection Networks
    Performing the Shuffle with the PM2I and Illiac SIMD Interconnection Networks Robert R. Seban Howard Jay Siegel Purdue University School of Electrical Engineering West Lafayette, Indiana 47907 Abstract—Three SIMD single stage interconnection networks which have been proposed and studied in the literature are the Illiac, PM2I, and Shuffle-Exchange. Here the ability of the Illiac and PM2I networks to per- form the shuffle interconnection in an SIMD machine with N processors is examined. A lower bound of 3\/N/2 transfers for the Illiac to shuffle data is derived. An algorithm to do this task in 2\/N-l transfers is given. A lower bound of log2N transfers for the PM2I to shuffle data has been published previously. An algo- rithm to do this task in log2N + l in transfers is presented here. 1. Introduction This paper extends SIMD interconnection network studies presented in [28, 31]. In particular, the ability of Fig. 1: PE-to-PE SIMD machine configuration, with the PM2I and Illiac single stage interconnection SIMD machine networks to perform the shuffle interconnection NPEs. is examined. In [28] it is shown that a lower bound on of configuration is shown in Fig. 1. It is called the PE- the number of transfers needed for the PM2I network to to-PE organization. The network is unidirectional and perform the shuffle is log2N, where N is the number of connects each PE to some subset of the other PEs. A processing elements in the SIMD machine.

  • Online Sec 6.15.Indd
    6.155.9 Historical Perspective and Further Reading Th ere is a tremendous amount of history in multiprocessors; in this section we divide our discussion by both time period and architecture. We start with the SIMD approach and the Illiac IV. We then turn to a short discussion of some other early experimental multiprocessors and progress to a discussion of some of the great debates in parallel processing. Next we discuss the historical roots of the present multiprocessors and conclude by discussing recent advances. SIMD Computers: Attractive Idea, Many Attempts, No Lasting Successes Th e cost of a general multiprocessor is, however, very high and further design options were considered which would decrease the cost without seriously degrading the power or effi ciency of the system. Th e options consist of recentralizing one of the three major components. Centralizing the [control unit] gives rise to the basic organization of [an] . array processor such as the Illiac IV. Bouknight et al. [1972] Th e SIMD model was one of the earliest models of parallel computing, dating back to the fi rst large-scale multiprocessor, the Illiac IV. Th e key idea in that multiprocessor, as in more recent SIMD multiprocessors, is to have a single instruction that operates on many data items at once, using many functional units (see Figure 6.15.1). Although successful in pushing several technologies that proved useful in later projects, it failed as a computer. Costs escalated from the $8 million estimate in 1966 to $31 million by 1972, despite construction of only a quarter of the planned multiprocessor.

  • SIMD1 Ñ Illiac IV
    Illiac IV History Illiac IV n First massively parallel computer ● SIMD (duplicate the PE, not the CU) ● First large system with semiconductor- based primary memory n Three earlier designs (vacuum tubes and transistors) culminating in the Illiac IV design, all at the University of Illinois ● Logical organization similar to the Solomon (prototyped by Westinghouse) ● Sponsored by DARPA, built by various companies, assembled by Burroughs ● Plan was for 256 PEs, in 4 quadrants of 64 PEs, but only one quadrant was built ● Used at NASA Ames Research Center in mid-1970s 1 Fall 2001, Lecture SIMD1 2 Fall 2001, Lecture SIMD1 Illiac IV Architectural Overview Programming Issues n One CU (control unit), n Consider the following FORTRAN code: 64 64-bit PEs (processing elements), DO 10 I = 1, 64 each PE has a PEM (PE memory) 10 A(I) = B(I) + C(I) ● Put A(1), B(1), C(1) on PU 1, etc. n CU operates on scalars, PEs on vector- n Each PE loads RGA from base+1, aligned arrays adds base+2, stores into base, ● All PEs execute the instruction broadcast where “base” is base of data in PEM by the CU, if they are in active mode n Each PE does this simultaneously, giving a speedup of 64 ● Each PE can perform various arithmetic ● and logical instructions For less than 64 array elements, some processors will sit idle ● Each PE has a memory with 2048 64-bit ● words, accessed in less than 188 ns For more than 64 array elements, some processors might have to do more work ● PEs can operate on data in 64-bit, 32-bit, and 8-bit formats n For some algorithms, it may be desirable to turn off PEs n Data routed between PEs various ways ● 64 PEs compute, then one half passes data to other half, then 32 PEs compute, n I/O is handled by a separate Burroughs etc.
