Partitioned Global Address Space (PGAS) languages combine the programming
convenience of shared memory with the locality and performance control of message …

Co-array Fortran (CAF) and Unified Parallel C (UPC) are two emerging languages for single-
program, multiple-data global address space programming. These languages boost …

This paper demonstrates the one-sided communication used in languages like UPC can
provide a significant performance advantage for bandwidth-limited applications. This is …

Unified Parallel C (UPC) is a parallel language that uses a Single Program Multiple Data
(SPMD) model of parallelism within a global address space. The global address space is …

We present a writer-independent system for online handwriting recognition that can handle
a variety of writing styles including cursive script and handprinting. The input to our system …

The current trend to multicore architectures underscores the need of parallelism. While new
languages and alternatives for supporting more efficiently these systems are proposed, MPI …

Global address space languages like UPC exhibit high performance and portability on a
broad class of shared and distributed memory parallel architectures. The most scalable …

Summary form only given. Parallel programming paradigms, over the past decade, have
focused on how to harness the computational power of contemporary parallel machines …

Abstract The NAS Parallel Benchmarks (NPB), originally implemented mostly in Fortran, is a
consolidated suite containing several benchmarks extracted from Computational Fluid …

In earlier work, we showed that the one-sided communication model found in PGAS
languages (such as UPC) offers significant advantages in communication efficiency by …
