Abstract

A parallel programming system, called MPC++, provides parallel primitives such as remote function invocation, a global pointer, and a synchronization structure using the C++ template feature. The system has run on a cluster of homogeneous computers. In this paper, the runtime system is extended to run on a cluster made up of a heterogeneous computer environment. Unlike other distributed or parallel programming systems on heterogeneous computers, the same program in the homogeneous environment runs in the heterogeneous environment in this extension
