Parallel Programming Models: A Systematic Survey

Abstract — This paper presents all parallel programming models available today. It reviews shared and distributed memory approaches. Hybrid programming models are also playing important role in High Performance Computing (HPC) era. This makes best use of both shared and distributed approaches. The study shows multi-core CPU’s have given different impulse to shared memory model programming. Along with this, heterogeneous programming is explored, to exploit combined effects of CPUs and Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) Graphics Processing. This work introduces the contribution of Open standards such as Open Mult
