MPA: Parallelization made easy

Abstract

This chapter of the book covers the work performed on IMEC's parallelization tool called MPA. The work done on this tool in the context of the MOSART Project involved several extensions to an already existing baseline version of the MPA tool. In this section we will give an introduction to the entire MPA parallelization tool, and briefly compare our approach to some of the existing alternatives for doing application parallelization. All developed extension in the context of this project will also be explained in more detail. Finally we will conclude this book chapter with a simple example to illustrate the most interesting features of IMEC's parallelization tool.
