Abstract:
A method for arranging per processor variables for local referencing in a distributed memory multiprocessor architecture, the architecture having a plurality of processing elements including a master processing element and one or more slave processing elements, each processing element including a processor and a memory having a local address range, the local address ranges each comprising a plurality of local addresses having corresponding global addresses in a global address range, the method comprising:(a) acquiring on a slave processing element one or more global addresses previously assigned to an array comprising one or more single instance variables, the array previously configured at one or more local addresses on a master processing element;(b) configuring the array at one or more local addresses on the slave processing element; and(c) associating on the slave processing element one or more of the assigned global addresses with one or more of the local addresses on the slave processing element at which the array is configured.
