Existing user-level network interfaces deliver high bandwidth, low latency performance to applications, but are typically unable to support diverse styles of communication and are unsuitable for use in multiprogrammed environments. Often this is because the network abstraction is presented at too high a level, and support for synchronisation is inflexible. In this paper we present a new primitive for in-band synchronisation: the Tripwire. Tripwires provide a flexible, efficient and scalable means for synchronisation that is orthogonal to data transfer. We describe the implementation of a non-coherent distributed shared memory network interface, with Tripwires for synchronisation. This interface provides a low-level communications model with gigabit class bandwidth and very low overhead and latency. We show how it supports a variety of communication styles, including remote procedure call, message passing and streaming.

Process-based numerical models developed to perform hydraulic/hydrologic/water quality analysis of watersheds and rivers have become highly sophisticated, with a corresponding increase in their computation time. However, for incidents such as water pollution, rapid analysis and decision-making are critical. This paper proposes an optimized parallelization scheme to reduce the computation time of the Environmental Fluid Dynamics Code-National Institute of Environmental Research (EFDC-NIER) model, which has been continuously developed for water pollution or algal bloom prediction in rivers. An existing source code and a parallel computational code with open multi-processing (OpenMP) and a message passing interface (MPI) were optimized, and their computation times compared. Subsequently, the simulation results for the existing EFDC model and the model with the parallel computation code were compared. Furthermore, the optimal parallel combination for hybrid parallel computation was evaluated by comparing the simulation time based on the number of cores and threads. When code parallelization was applied, the performance improved by a factor of approximately five compared to the existing source code. Thus, if the parallel computational source code applied in this study is used, urgent decision-making will be easier for events such as water pollution incidents.

Abstract. Rivest-Shamir-Adleman algorithm is a cryptographic algorithm that is difficult to be dismantled. This is due to the difficulty of factoring large numbers modulus n into prime factors (p and q). The process of modulus factoring requires a very long time if solved by serial computation. Brute Force Attack method is used to find large prime numbers p and q with parallel computation. Applications for the factorization of prime numbers p and q are developed using Visual C ++ and Message Passing Interface, while the decryption process developed with Java. The results show a parallel computing process faster than a serial for factoring very large numbers n, and very slow if the n is too small.Keywords: Rivest-Shamir-Adleman Algorithm, Brute Force Attack, Message Passing Interface. Abstrak. Algoritma Rivest-Shamir-Adleman merupakan salah satu algoritma kriptografi yang sukar untuk dibongkar. Hal ini dikarenakan sulitnya memfaktorkan bilangan modulus n yang besar menjadi faktor-faktor prima (nilai p dan q). Proses untuk faktorisasi modulus n membutuhkan waktu yang sangat lama apabila diselesaikan dengan komputasi serial. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode Brute Force Attack untuk menemukan bilangan prima p dan q yang sangat besar yang dikerjakan secara paralel. Aplikasi untuk faktorisasi bilangan prima p dan q dikembangkan menggunakan Visual C++ memanfaatkan Message Passing Interface, sedangkan aplikasi proses dekripsi dengan Java. Hasil ujicoba menunjukkan proses komputasi paralel lebih cepat dibandingkan secara serial untuk memfaktorkan bilangan n yang sangat besar, dan menjadi sangat lambat apabila bilangan n terlalu kecil. Kata kunci: Algoritma Rivest-Shamir-Adleman, Brute Force Attack, Message Passing Interface.

As for the problem of numerical simulation oflaser propulsion of three dimensions and multi-sub domains, the domain decomposition strategy based on message passing mechanismis applied in this paper to realize parallelization. The cell-centered finite volume scheme is performed to solve Euler equation. A five-step Runge-Kutta scheme of explicit integral model is used for time advancement. The spatial discretization of inviscid fluid is estimated byhigh-order Godunov-type scheme. We test some different examples on a cluster system and the results show the smallest number of speedup is more than 5.19 when the degree of parallelism is 8. In a word, parallel computation is an inevitable choice to achieve the aim of accelerating the study of the mechanism of laser propulsion.
