Description
Summary:Providing high level tools for parallel programming while sustaining a high level of performance has been a challenge that techniques like Domain Specific Embedded Languages try to solve. In previous works, we investigated the design of such a DSEL —NT 2 —providing a Matlab  -like syntax for parallel numerical computations inside a C++  library. In this paper, we show how NT 2  has been redesigned for shared memory systems in an extensible and portable way. The new NT 2  design relies on a tiered Parallel Skeleton system built using asynchronous task management and automatic compile-time taskification of user level code. We describe how this system can operate various shared memory runtimes and evaluate the design by using two benchmarks implementing linear algebra algorithms.
