Abstract

UPC is an explicitly parallel extension to the ISO C 99 Standard. UPC follows the partitioned global address space programming model. This document is the formal specification for the UPC language and library syntax and semantics, and supersedes prior specification version 1.2 (LBNL-59208).

Proposal for extending the UPC memory copy library functions and supporting extensions to GASNet, Version 1.0

Technical Report Bonachea, Dan

This document outlines a proposal for extending UPC's point-to-point memcpy library with support for explicitly non-blocking transfers, and non-contiguous (indexed and strided) transfers. Various portions of this proposal could stand alone as independent extensions to the UPC library. The designs presented here are heavily influenced by analogous functionality which exists in other parallel communication systems, such as MPI, ARMCI, Titanium, and network hardware API's such as Quadricselan, Infiniband vapi, IBM LAPI and Cray X-1. Each section contains proposed extensions to the libraries in the UPC Language Specification (section 7) and corresponding extensions to the GASNet communication system API.

Berkeley Unified Parallel C (UPC) runtime library

Software Bonachea, Dan; Hargrove, Paul; Duell, Jason; ...

This software comprises a portable, open-source implementation of a runtime library to support applications written in the Unified Parallel C (UPC) language. This library implements the UPC-specific functionality, including shared-memory allocation and distributed locks. The network-dependent functionality is implemented as a thin wrapper around the separate GASNet (Global-Address Space Networking) library, which is required for operation. This software implements the "Berkeley UPC Runtime Specification", which is targeted by at least four separate UPC compiler front-ends. The implementation is highly portable and runs over hardware ranging from laptops to custom supercomputers. An external library is required for certain local memory allocationmore »« less

UPC++

Software Amir Kamil, Yili

UPC++ is a Partitioned Global Address Space (PGAS) extension for C++, with three main objectives: 1) to provide an object-oriented PGAS programming model in the context of the popular C++ language; 2) to add useful parallel programming idioms unavailable in UPC, such as asynchronous remote function invocation and multidimensional arrays, to support complex scientific applications; 3) to offer an easy on-ramp to PGAS programming through interoperability with other existing parallel programming systems (e.g., MPI, OpenMP, CUDA). UPC++ includes two main features beyond UPC: 1) One of the major limitations of UPC in the context of DOE application is the relativelymore »« less
