Abstract

This paper examines some critical issues raised in the design of libraries for MPCs, such as scalability, protability, recompilation, and flexibility. We advocate a layered a layered structure of library design, comprising a high-language layers, a machine-independent node layer, a machine-dependent node layer, and an object code layer for different demands and requirements. We discuss the impact of various data decomposition strategies on program performance and the computation and communication analysis techniques employed at different layers.
