From Control to Data to Value: A Third Axis of Parallelism
Di Wu, Zhewen Pan, Joshua San Miguel
TL;DR: The history of parallel computing is a history of shifting what we put at the center of the computer. The first axis, control-level parallelism (CLP), is control-centric and schedules around the program counter: it gave us the high-performance computing (HPC) era. The second axis, data-level parallelism (DLP), is data-centric and schedules around tensors: it […]
