WVP3——a visual parallel programming platform based-on win32
Hu Zhi · Journal of Central South University of Technology(Natural Science) · 2001
It is considered that the parallel software currently used in the network parallel computation is difficult to use for non professional user and most of them are developed based on Unix, so this paper constructs a visual parallel programming platform based on Win32 system——WVP3. The platform provides a visual interface and hides the detail of the parallel software used behind perfectly. Because of the above characters of the platform, numerous Windows users and non professional users can also develop parallel programs. When using the platform, users only need to describe the parallel problem in graph style using the tools provided by the platform, then the platform automatically generates the communication codes among tasks according to users′ descriptions, and then automatically completes the whole parallel process. This paper predominantly introduces the visual description means and some implementation details, briefly describes the user description analysis algorithm and the processor schedule method used by the platform, and then using an example, presents the usage of the platform in details.
