	SCHEDULE: NOV 11-17, 2006 CellSs: A Programming Model for the Cell BE Architecture Session: Memory Event Type: Paper Time: 2:00pm - 2:30pm Session Chair: Mario Lauria Author(s): Pieter Bellens, Josep M. Perez, Rosa M. Badia, Jesus Labarta Location: 20-21 Abstract: In this work we present Cell superscalar (CellSs) which addresses the automatic exploitation of the functional parallelism of a sequential program through the different processing elements of the Cell BE architecture. The focus in on the simplicity and flexibility of the programming model. Based on a simple annotation of the source code, a source to source compiler generates the necessary code and a runtime library exploits the existing parallelism by building at runtime a task dependency graph. The runtime takes care of the task scheduling and data handling between the different processors of this heterogeneous architecture. Besides, a locality-aware task scheduling has been implemented to reduce the overhead of data transfers. The approach has been implemented and tested with a set of examples and the results obtained since now are promising.
