Parallelization of GSL: Architecture, Interfaces, and Programming Models

  • Conference paper
Recent Advances in Parallel Virtual Machine and Message Passing Interface (EuroPVM/MPI 2004)

Abstract

In this paper we present our efforts towards the design and development of a parallel version of the Scientific Library from GNU using MPI and OpenMP. Two well-known operations arising in discrete mathematics and sparse linear algebra illustrate the architecture and interfaces of the system. Our approach, though being a general high-level proposal, achieves for these two particular examples a performance close to that obtained by an ad hoc parallel programming implementation.
