Abstract: |
In
this paper we investigate the deployment of FastFlow
applications on multi-core virtual platforms. The overhead introduced by the
virtual environment has been measured using a well-known application
benchmark both in the sequential and in the FastFlow
parallel setting. The overhead introduced for both the sequential and the
parallel executions of CPU and memory-intensive applications is in the range
of 2−30%,
while the execution speedup is almost preserved. Additionally, we have ported
the FastFlow benchmark to a cloud-based distributed
environment in which a task-intensive application has been tested and the
performance compared with the corresponding run on a smaller cluster of
multi-core machines without virtualisation. From
a parallel programming perspective, we have demonstrated how a unique
programming framework based on the structured parallel programming paradigm
can cope with very different kind of target architectures without any (or
minimal) code intervention |
