The POOMA operating system, together with the POOL-X compiler, is responsible for the execution on the POOMA hardware of parallel programs written in the parallel object oriented language POOL-X. This article contains two parts, firstly it gives an overview of most of the facilities which are offered by the POOMA operating system, and secondly relevant system components are evaluated. The POOMA operating...
Using a large multiprocessor, consisting of 100 processing nodes, in the area of data and knowledge processing poses challenging research and engineering questions. The PRISMA project presented here has addressed many of the problems encountered by the design and the construction of such a system. Among the results obtained are an implementation of a parallel object-oriented language, a hardware platform...
Algorithmic methods are presented to perform a priori error analysis and error cumulation comtrol. The corresponding programs are implemented in REDUCE as an extension of Sasaki's multiple precision floating point arithmetic package. Ingredients for the method are some concepts of interval arithmetic and a slightly modified precision notion, in both absolute and relative sense. This allows to take...
