UPC Performance and Potential: A NPB Experimental Study
Tarek El‐Ghazawi, François Cantonnet · 2002
UPC, or Unified Parallel C, is a parallel extension of ANSI C. UPC follows a distributed shared memory programming model aimed at leveraging the ease of programming of the shared memory paradigm, while enabling the exploitation of data locality. UPC incorporates constructs that allow placing data near the threads that manipulate them to minimize remote accesses.
