Focusing on Gibbs and Markov Random Field model representation for textures, we present parallel algorithms for texture synthesis, compression, and maximum likelihood parameter estimation, currently implemented on Thinking Machines CM-2 and CM-5. Use of fine-grained, data parallel processing techniques yields real-time algorithms for texture synthesis and compression that are substantially faster than the previously known sequential implementations. Although current implementations are on Connection Machines, the methodology presented here enables

excerpt: Overview of Wide Area Information Servers Brewster Kahle April 1991 The Wide Area Information Servers system is a set of products supplied by different vendors to help end-users find and retrieve information over networks. Thinking Machines, Apple Computer, and Dow Jones initially implemented such a system for use by business executives. These products are becoming more widely available from various companies. What does WAIS do? Users on different platforms can access personal, company, and published information from one interface. The information can be anything: text, pictures, voice, or formatted documents. Since a single computer-to-computer protocol is used, information can be stored anywhere on different types of machines. Anyone can use this system since

excerpt: USING MPI Using MPI Portable Parallel Programming with the Message-Passing Interface William Gropp, Ewing Lusk, and Anthony Skjellum The parallel programming community recently organized an effort to standardize the communication subroutine libraries used for programming on massively parallel computers such as the Connection Machine and Cray's new T3D, as well as networks of workstations. The standard they developed, Message-Passing Interface (MPI), not only unifies within a common framework programs written in a variety of existing (and currently incompatible) parallel languages but allows for future portability of programs between machines. Three of the authors of MPI have teamed up here to present a tutorial on how to use MPI to write parallel programs, particularly

NESL is a fine-grained, functional, nested data-parallel language. The current implementation runs on workstations, the Connection Machines CM2 and CM5, the Cray Y-MP and the MasPar MP2. NESL is loosely based on ML. It includes a built-in parallel data-type, sequences, and parallel operations on sequences (the element type of a sequence can be any type, not just scalars). It is based on eager evaluation, and supports polymorphism, type inference and a limited use of higher-order functions. Currently it does not have support for modules and its datatype definition is limited

excerpt: A Compile Time Model for Composing Parallel Programs Susan Hinrichs April, 1994 CMU-CS-94-108 School of Computer Science Carnegie Mellon University Pittsburgh, PA 15213 Abstract Many distributed memory machines support connection-based communication instead of or in addition to connection-less message passing. Connection-based communication can be more efficient than message passing because the resources are reserved once for the connection and multiple messages can be sent over the connection. While long-lived connections enable more efficient use of the communication system in some situations, managing connection resources adds another level of complexity to programming such machines. iWarp is an example of a distributed memory machine that supports long-lived

It can be used to transfer files across the network between any machines running FTP. FTP is typically used in one of two ways: (1) to transfer files between accounts on two different machines, and (2) to obtain files made available for public distribution by other machines. If you want to transfer files between accounts, say between your account and that of a colleague at another university, you must know the machine name, account and password of your colleague's account. Then start FTP like this: ftp machinename where "machinename" is the full network name of your colleague's machine (probably something like

excerpt: Sorting for Particle Flow Simulation on the Connection Machine by Leonardo Dagum RNR Technical Report RNR-90-017 October,1990 Abstract This paper investigates the sorting requirements of a particle simulation and analyzes the sorting algorithms currently in use on sequential, vector, and data parallel implementations of particle flow simulations. Particle simulation requires sorting n integers in the range [1, O(n)] and takes O(n) running time on sequential or vector machines. The data parallel implementation of a particle simulation is shown to be non--optimal with running time O(n \log n). Until recently, there have been no optimal parallel integer sorting algorithms. This paper presents an optimal deterministic algorithm for parallel sorting in a particle

In July 1994, this machine will be upgraded to 16 TFP superscalar processors, each running at 75 MHz and 300 Mflop peak speed. This machine will be binary compatible (for single processor applications) with R4400-based SGI workstations. In addition, NCSA will experiment this summer with a Houston-based SGI Challenge Array consisting of four networked Challenge machines with 20 processors each.
