Abstract
A system (80) for automating data distribution for parallel processor applications adapted for use with massively parallel processors. The system (80) includes high level instructions for obtaining user inputs (75) that specify system size and memory characteristics for a parallel processor. The instructions include routines (88, 92, 96, 102, 104, and 108) that communicate data among processing elements in the parallel processor in response to steps (62, 64) in an application running on each processing element in the parallel processor. The data communications are performed in accordance with the system size and memory characteristics obtained from the user. Additional routines (92, 96, 102, 104) synchronize the communication of data among processing elements (PEs) with the steps in the application.
