I think you'll maximise your chances by sending mail about GUM and Glasgow Parallel Haskell to the GpH mailing list http://www.macs.hw.ac.uk/~dsg/gph/ Simon | -----Original Message----- | From: haskell-bounces@haskell.org [mailto:haskell-bounces@haskell.org] On Behalf Of Yang, Qing | Sent: 12 November 2003 08:37 | To: haskell@haskell.org | Subject: Question about how GUM works | | Hi All, | | I have a question about GUM - the runtime system for Parallel Haskell. | There are below words in the paper addressing GUM architecture: | "The first action of GUM program is to create a PVM manager task, whose | job is to control startup and termination. The manager spawns the | required number of logical PEs as PVM tasks, which PVM maps to the | available processors." | | So my question is how many PEs the PVM mamager task will spawn? The | number is accordant with the processor number or determined by some | other things? And will the number of PEs be changed during the execution | of the program or not? | | Thanks, | | Qing Yang | qing.yang@intel.com | | _______________________________________________ | Haskell mailing list | Haskell@haskell.org | http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell
