This means such an array can be really large. However, portions of the array are scattered across multipleprocessors. SPMD programming includes distributed arrays.Ī distributed array is logically one array, and a large set ofMATLAB commands can treat it that way (e.g. OpenMP includes constructs similar to spmd. The workers can also send messages to other workers. Workers can see the clients data the client can access andchange worker data. There is a single program, but it is divided into client and workersections the latter marked by special spmd/end statements. There is always a special client process.Įach worker process has its own memory and separate ID. MATLAB can also work in a simplified kind of MPI model. PROGRAMMING: SPMD Single Program Multiple Data
OpenMP implements a directive for parallel for loops Using parfor requires that the iterations are completelyindependent there are also some restrictions on array-data access. When the client MATLAB reaches such a loop, the iterations ofthe loop are automatically divided up among the workers, and theresults gathered back onto the client. The simplest path to parallelism is the parfor statement, whichindicates that a given for loop can be executed in parallel. The parfor approach is a limited but simple way to get started.spmd is powerful, but may require rethinking the program/data.The task approach is simple, but suitable only for computationsthat need almost no communication.
The task feature creates multiple independent programs. The spmd statement can define cooperating synchronizedprocessing Suitable for loops can be made into parfor loops Three ways to write a parallel MATLAB program:
