===Landscape of parallel computing research: a view from berkeley===
 
----
 
* good intro paper.
 
* 3 sections
 
** software
 
** hardware
 
** performance/programming models
 
** conclusion
 
* probably cover 1st section w/ dwarfs, plus conclusion, although everything is good
 
----
 
* General introduction to world of // computing in 2006
 
* old wisdom/new wisdom ==> world of // computing is changing
 
* moore's law
 
:::"Key to this approach is a layer of libraries and programming frameworks centered on the 13 computational bottlenecks ("dwarfs") that we identified in the original Berkeley View report. "
 
* '''A dwarf is a class of algorithms that tend to have a common pattern of communication and computation'''.  Dwarfs are well-defined targets from algorithmic, software, and architecture stand point.
 
 
* Page 7: we have been concentrating on massively parallel architectures, but this may apply to new forms of parallelism
 
* Page 7: good match between scientific // approaches and current parallel (non scientific) domains
 
* Page 7: 7 Dwarfs
 
** ==> question: what's a dwarf? (google berkeley + dwarf)
 
** high level of abstraction
 
* Page 11: 3 new areas for adoption as dwarf?
 
** machine learning
 
** database software
 
*** Page 12: map-reduce
 
** computer graphics
 
* Page 14: introduces 6 new dwarfs
 
* Page 19: End of software Dwarf section ==> Good place to break
 
* Page 20: beginning of hardware
 
** processor
 
** memory
 
** network
 
* Page 32: Programming  models
 
** Does not include threading
 
** MPI
 
** Map-REduce
 
* Page 36: system software
 
** '''Autotuner'''
 
* Page 40: virtual machines to the rescue
 
* Page 44: conclusion
