Decoupled concurrency: a self-adaptive software architecture for programming multicores

Published: 04 April 2016 Publication History

Abstract

Modern parallel hardware architectures implicitly require programmers to write concurrent programs that can be executed in parallel on multiple cores. The traditional way of writing concurrent programs mixes concurrency and functionality code. As a result, in order to fully exploit the potentials that the underlying hardware provides, the code must be changed to utilize the more advanced hardware resources. To address this challenge, we propose a new software architecture which separates programs' concurrency from their functionality code. Specifically, the level of concurrency of a computation can be dynamically tuned at run-time based on predefined tuning policies, which are programmable and reusable.
