Data-Parallel Computations are for high-level matrix and vector
operations on large data sets. Once a variable is tagged as parallel, through propagation related
variables also become parallel. Functions on parallel variables are transparently "overloaded,"
or carried out by the data-parallel libraries.
Task-Parallel Computations are for carrying out many independent
calculations in parallel, such as Monte Carlo simulations, or "un-rolling" serial FOR loops.
OpenConnect Library API Link enables you to extend the
functionality of the Star-P compute engine based on your particular application and algorithm
requirements.
