Abstract

The right model of parallel computation must possess various properties including accurately predicting the behavior of real programs on physical computers. It is argued that this property must be tested experimentally. Three experiments are reviewed supporting the hypothesis that the CTA machine model and the Phase Abstractions programming model predict accurately for real programs on physical computers. Data for ten MIMD computers is reported. Additionally, basic concepts connected with models of computation are reviewed, and several recently developed parallel models are critiqued.
