Dependence Precedence
Precedence & Dependence • Can we execute a 1000 line program with 1000 processors in one step? • What are the issues to deal with in various parallelizing situations: – Parallel Programming? – Instruction Level Parallelism? • What type analysis is used to study concurrent database operation?
Dependence
Making Use of Processors • In parallelizing algorithms, we want to use as many processors as possible in an effort to finish in as little time as possible. • Often, it is not possible to make complete use of all processors in all time units – Some instructions (or sections of instructions) depend upon others – Others have a different, related problem called precedence (next section)
Input and Output • Input and output cannot be parallelized in the strict sense because we’re dealing with a user. • We assume multiple, parallel streams of input and output (modems, etc. ).
Read and Print statements Read(x) x <- keyboard Print(x) screen <- x
Dependency Relationships • Dependencies are relationships between the steps of an algorithm such that one step depends upon another. (S 1) (S 2) (S 3) read (a) b <- a * 3 c <- b * a
Dependency Relationships • Dependencies are relationships between the steps of an algorithm such that one step depends upon another. (S 1) (S 2) (S 3) a <- keyboard b <- a * 3 c <- b * a Don’t need • Here, S 2 is dependent on S 1 to provide the appropriate value of a. • Similarly, S 3 is dependent on both S 1 (for a’s value) and S 2 (for b’s value). • Since S 2 needs a also, we can simply say that S 3 is dependent on S 2.
Dependence Defined by a “read after write”* relationship This means moving from the left to the right side of the assignment operator. a <- 5 b <- a + 2 *Note: “Read” and “Write” in this case refer to reading the value from a memory location and writing a value to a memory location. Not Input/Output.
Graphing Dependence Relations Processors Time S 1 S 2
Dependency Graphs (S 1) (S 2) (S 3) read (a) b <- a * 3 c <- b * a
Dependency Graphs Processors a <- keyboard b <- a * 3 c <- b * a S 1 Time (S 1) (S 2) (S 3) In this case, it does not matter how many processors we have; we can use only one processor to finish in 3 time units. S 2 S 3
What If There Are No Dependencies? (S 1) (S 2) (S 3) read (a) b <- b + 3 c <- c + 4 We can use three processors to get it done in a single time chunk. Time Processors S 1 S 2 S 3

Dependence and Iteration • Ignore steps that are not part of loop (overhead costs similar to making parallelism work) – Don’t worry about loop, exitif, counter variables, endloop, etc. • Use notation to indicate passes: ‘ “ “‘ • Unroll the loop, replacing the counter variable with a literal value.
An Iterative Example I <- 1 loop exitif (I > MAX_ARRAY) (S 1) read (A[I]) (S 2) B[I] <- A[I] + 4 (S 3) C[I] <- A[I] / 3 (S 4) D[I] <- B[I] / C[I] I <- I + 1 endloop

Limited Number of Processors • What if the number of processors is fixed? • Some processors may be being used by another program/user • If the number of processors available are less than the number of processors that can be utilized, shift instructions into lower time units.

Precedence Defined by a “write after write” or “write after read” relationship. This means using the variable on the left side of the assignment operator after it has appeared previously on the right or left. b <- a + 2 a <- 5 a <- 7 a <- 5

Space vs. Time • We can optimize time performance by changing shared variable to an array of independent variables. i <- 1 loop exitif (i > 3) (S 1) read (a[i]) (S 2) print (a[i]) (S 3) a[i] <- a[i] * 7 (S 4) print (a[i]) i <- i + 1 endloop
Precedence Graphs S 1’ S 1” S 2’ S 2” S 3’ S 3” S 4’ S 4” • We can use 3 processors to finish in 4 time units. • Note that product complexity is unchanged.
What if Both Precedence and Dependence? If two instructions have both a precedence and a dependence relation (S 1) a <- 5 (S 2) a <- a + 2 showing only dependence is sufficient. S 1 S 2
Another Iterative Example (S 1) (S 2) (S 3) (S 4) i <- 1 loop exitif (i > N) read (a[i]) a[i] <- a[i] * 7 c <- a[i] / 3 print (c) i <- i + 1 endloop
Another Iterative Example i <- 1 loop exitif (i > N) (S 1) a[i] <- keyboard (S 2) a[i] <- a[i] * 7 (S 3) c <- a[i] / 3 (S 4) screen <- c i <- i + 1 endloop

Practical Applications • We used the single assignments as easy illustrations of the principles. • There additional real applications of this capability: – Much bigger than one assignment – Smaller than one assignment

Large Data Sets • Consider the SETI project • What do you now know about the data that makes it practical to distribute across millions of processors?
Instruction Processing • Break computer’s processing into steps I <- 0 A - fetch instruction B - fetch data C - logical processing (math, test and branch) D - store result • • loop exitif( I > MAX) blah. . .
