The PAPERS Library Execution Model

• Communication is a side-effect of barrier sync.
  • All PEs together effect communication
  • Communication role of each PE is determined by that PE
  • Aggregate functions are computed in parallel within the "network"
• Very low latency hardware and interface
• No software layering
• Barrier synchronization and voting operations supporting MIMD, SIMD, and VLIW execution modes
