Ec - a compiler for the e-language [NOC applications]

In our previous work, we have introduced e, a fine-grained thread-level parallel (TLP) programming language for synchronous shared memory NOC architectures, realizing the parallel random access machine, (PRAM) model. The language uses a familiar c-like syntax and provides support for shared and private variables, arbitrary hierarchical groups of threads, and synchronous control structures. This allows a programmer to use various advanced TLP programming techniques like data parallelism, the divide-and-conquer technique, different blocking techniques, and both synchronous and asynchronous programming styles. In this paper, we describe ec, an experimental compiler for e. We also shortly evaluate the e-compiler with real parallel program using our scalable Eclipse NOC architecture.
