Some Properties of Selected Parallel Architectures

Abstract

We explore three widespread parallel architectures: multi-core CPUs, the Cell BE processor, and graphics processing units. We have implemented four algorithms on these three architectures: the heat equation, inpainting using the heat equation, computing the Mandelbrot set, and MJPEG movie compression. We use these four algorithms to exemplify the benefits and drawbacks of each parallel architecture.
