TreadMarks supports parallel computing on networks of workstations by providing the application with a shared memory abstraction. Shared memory facilitates the transition from sequential to parallel programs. After identifying possible sources of parallelism in the code, most of the data structures can be retained without change, and only synchronization needs to be added to achieve a correct shared memory parallel program_ Additional transformations may be necessary to optimize performance, but this can be done in an incremental fashion. We discuss the techniques used in TreadMarks to provide efficient shared memory, and our experience with two large applications, mixed integer programming and genetic linkage analysis.
