Previous: Shared Memory Systems
The current pC++ runtime system that we have implemented for shared memory
machines has the following general, default properties:
- Collection element tables:
Each processor has its own copy of the element table
for each collection.
- Collection allocation:
Each processor object allocates all the space for its local
elements.
The processor objects then exchange local element addresses to
build the full collection element table.
- Barrier synchronization:
The barrier implementation is chosen from optimized
hardware/software mechanisms on the target system.
