Abstract:

To achieve the across-nodes technology of the heterogeneous parallel method of moments (MoM), a parallel MoM programming model is studied on CPU/GPU and CPU/MIC heterogeneous platforms. By utilizing the CONTEXT technology in the CUDA which contains the GPU common programming criterions, and the concept of environment variables in MIC, a general heterogeneous parallel programming model for the CPU/GPU and CPU/MIC is proposed, which meets the static load-balancing for the across-nodes heterogeneous parallel MoM. Numerical results show that the heterogeneous parallel MoM codes based on the proposed parallel programming model can obtain ideal speedup and good scalability.

Key words: method of moments, heterogeneous platforms, parallel programming model, scalability
