WVP3——1个基于Win32的可视化并行程序开发平台

WVP3——a visual parallel programming platform based-on win32

针对网络并行计算中使用的并行软件环境对非专业人员来说使用难度大且大多是基于UNIX环境开发的特点 ,构造了 1个基于Win32系统的可视化并行程序开发平台 (WVP3) .该平台提供了可视化界面 ,并对底层的并行软件进行了较好的封装 ,使得Windows用户及非计算机专业人员也可以进行并行程序设计 .计算时 ,只需利用该平台提供的工具将并行问题以图形的形式描述出来 ,平台按照用户的任务描述自动生成任务间的通信语句 ,自动完成整个并行计算过程 .此外 ,提供了平台的可视化任务描述手段及部分实现细节 ,描述了该平台使用的用户分析算法和处理机调度方法 ,并结合实例介绍了使用该平台进行并行程序设计的方法 .

It is considered that the parallel software currently used in the network parallel computation is difficult to use for non professional user and most of them are developed based on Unix, so this paper constructs a visual parallel programming platform based on Win32 system——WVP3. The platform provides a visual interface and hides the detail of the parallel software used behind perfectly. Because of the above characters of the platform, numerous Windows users and non professional users can also develop parallel programs. When using the platform, users only need to describe the parallel problem in graph style using the tools provided by the platform, then the platform automatically generates the communication codes among tasks according to users′ descriptions, and then automatically completes the whole parallel process. This paper predominantly introduces the visual description means and some implementation details, briefly describes the user description analysis algorithm and the processor schedule method used by the platform, and then using an example, presents the usage of the platform in details.
