The Operator Design Pattern Application to Parallel Computation

This paper presents the operator design pattern dedicated to enforce the reusability and extensibility of software libraries. It can be used either directly or to allow the migration of an application to data parallel computations. Designing parallel applications, and providing tools and methods for that purpose, is a complex work that involves a wide range of computer science knowledge. Our researches focus on the specific data parallel model and the Single Program Multiple Data programming model. The proposed pattern is useful to manage operations over large aggregates of data. Using the operator pattern allows the reuse of problem domain components that are decoupled from the implementation domain components. Keywords: Distributed and parallel processing 1 Intent The first intent of the operator design pattern is to increase the reusability and extensibility of code in an application development using an extensive decoupling strategy IRISA/INRIA y IRISA/CNRS, currently visiti..
