4. Title:   Parallel Computer Architectures and Parallel Computation Models

5. Target Audience: honours students and above


6. Abstract:

The main purpose of this talk is to try to unify the study of parallel
computer architecture models, parallel algorithm models and parallel
programming models.

We first discuss the large-scale parallel computer architecture models
and their characteristics of SMP, MPP, COW and DSM. And then we assess
the more realistic computation models including APRAM model, BSP
model, Logp model and $C^{3}$ model. Lastly, we evaluate the parallel
programming models including implicit model, data-parallel model,
shared-variable model and message-passing model.  The concluding
remarks are also given at the end of this talk.

Biography:

Professor G.L. Chen is a Professor of the University of Science and
Technology of China (USTC). He has published over 90 journal and
conference papers and book chapters in the area of computer
architectures, interconnection networks, parallel algorithms and
intelligent computation. His current research interest lies mainly in
parallel and distributed algorithms, neural networks, and genetic
algorithms.

Professor Chen is the author of "Parallel Algorithms: Sorting and
Selection", "Design and Analysis of Parallel Algorithms", and
co-author of "Interconnection Networks: Structure and Analysis",
"Computational Theory and Parallel Algorithms for VLSI", "Neural
Networks and their Applications", and "Genetic Algorithms and their
Applications". He was on leave as a Visiting Scientist at the
University of Florida (1981), Purdue University (1982-1983, 1993), and
University of Tokyo (1984, 1992, 1995). He is a Chairman of the
Department of Computer Science and Technology of USTC, and a Director
of the Chinese High Performance Computing Center (CHPCC) of Hefei.
