CS 594 - Applications of Parallel Computing

Assignment 8

Due April 24th, 2002

 

 

1.     Down load NetSolve and setup a NetSolve server on a computer. See: http://icl.cs.utk.edu/netsolve/

 

2.     Install the version of matrix multiply you did for the class assignment on your server and give it a unique name (say mm_your_last_name). Use the Program Definition File generator to install your problem into your NetSolve server.

(If you have problems see the Jeffery <zchen@cs.utk.edu> or Keith Seymour seymour@cs.utk.edu )   

   

3.     Write a program that uses your matrix multiply from NetSolve from C or Fortran and Matlab.

 

4.     Analyze the performance of your routine for different problem sizes and compares that to the performance of calling the routine directly. Try to say something about the overhead of doing this in a grid.
