These elements contains: Multiple Processors multiple Memories Interconnection Network The operation of above elements are subject to the control by parallel Operating System Which contains special parallel algorithms for process handling. The ultimate goal of parallel computing is to reduce the time for a computation and to facilitate computing, which requires high memory usage: Achieve speed: Tp=Ts/p Solve problems requiring a large amount of memory Logical Organization: Logical organization is referred to the way the parallel platform is viewed to application level. Logical organization contains many control mechanisms SISD-Single Instruction Single data SIMD-Single Instruction Multiple data MIMD- Multiple Instruction Multiple data MISD- Multiple Instruction Single data Single Instruction Mu...
