To develop and implement techniques and tools for improving the performance of iterative recurrence algorithms (nested FOR loops) in systolic arrays and other parallel computer, building on the energing synergy between parallelising compiler technology and systolic design.Progress:The project is a collaboration between the Centre for Novel Computing (CNC) at the University of Manchester (Professor John Gurd, Dr. Mike O'Boyle, Gholam Hedayat) and the Algorithm Engineering Research Group (AERG) at the University of Newcastle-upon-Tyne (Dr. Graham Megson, David Comish, Lucia Rapanotti). The AERG has focussed on developing its extensive expertise in systolic design, while the CNC has concentrated on parallelising compiler techniques (primarily for Fortran programs). Interaction between the two groups has proved most fruitful, leading to joint development of partitioning and optimisation techniques, and sharing of a common software base. Joint publications are in preparation, and an integrated software tool based on both systolic and Fortran views is being designed. The latter is to be implemented during the remaining six-months of the project.
