Topic: Dominant parallel


  
  Counter parallel - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The chord can be seen as the "tonic parallel reversed" and is in a major key the same chord as the dominant parallel (Dp) and in a minor key equal to the subdominant parallel (sP); yet, it has another function.
For example, Am is the tonic parallel of C, thus, Em is the counter parallel of C. The usual parallel chord in a major key is a minor third below the root and the counter parallel is a major third above.
Both the parallel and the counter parallel have two notes in common with the tonic (Am and C share C and E; Em and C share E and G).

DOMINANT The triad over the dominant note (in C major the G major chord : g b d) is also called dominant and is noted as V. The dominant chord contains the leading tone which tends to resolve to the tonic.
Parallels A chord is parallel to another chord if it is a third away.
TONIC PARALLEL On the sixth degree of the scale is the parallel minor of the tonic.

 NFNC library: Intentioneering the Parallel Culture
Monasteries are the oldest form of parallel culture in civilization, while prehistoric tribal culture may be considered as being an example of the integration of positive and negative cultural values, prior to these motives being split between two different cultures, the dominate and the parallel, with the advent of civilization.
Given that the dominant culture today is generally characterized as being based upon the political-economic system known as "neo-liberal market capitalism," focused upon competition, possessiveness and similar values, an alternative economic system focused upon positive values, such as sharing, must be based upon an economic system known as...
On the large scale, the parallel culture would best be considered to be an "egalitarian commonwealth." The term "commonwealth" suggests the general economic welfare of a region or group of people, and thus adequately suggests a combination of economic structures.

 Developing Applications For Parallel Computing
A parallel application source code developed using OpenMP can be compiled by any compiler supporting OpenMP and the compiled binary should run on the target hardware platform to achieve parallel performance gain.
At the current state of semiconductor technology and computer architecture, the dominant system performance factor is the memory hierarchy rather than CPU clock rate.
One popular approach is to construct a state tree with each node representing a specific application state and search through the state tree to find the target node(s) with the optimal state or reach a target node in a minimum number of steps.

 dominant ideology - Hutchinson encyclopedia article about dominant ideology
A dominant ideology will tend to combat or suppress the alternative codes of belief in a society, in contrast to pluralism which will tolerate them.
Most dominant ideologies, such as medieval feudalism, protestant capitalism, or communism, have been strongly associated with patriarchy.

 Chapter 7   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-03)
Many parallel processing computer architectures have been developed over the years, but the dominant parallel architecture that has emerged is the distributed memory, multiple instruction-multiple data architecture (MIMD), which consists of a set of independent processors with their own local RAM memory interconnected by some sort of communication channel.
Since the goal of parallel processing is to distribute the effort of a calculation, for tightly coupled methods such as quantum chemical simulations, it is essential that the time to communicating a partial result be less than the time to simply recalculate it.
Lack of scalability often arises from straightforward parallel implementations where the algorithm is controlled by a central scheduler and for which communication among processors is wired to be synchronous.

 New Processor Options for HPC
The dominant design theme over the ten years referred to has been clock period improvement companioned with a general widening of the processor to increase ILP [instruction-level parallelism] and IPC [instructions per clock], and to turn scalar into superscalar performance.
This is an instruction-intensive approach, which again preserves the x86 ISA, serves their dominant market, and maximizes the use of the industry's talent and prior investments in micro-architectures they have already designed.
In theory, its design strength is that it doubles (or quadruples) the parallel processing power available on the same chip/node without doubling the clock or the investment in ILP detecting circuitry.

 Herbert Smith EU, competition and regulation e-bulletin
Advocate General Jacobs concludes that a dominant pharmaceutical undertaking which restricts the supply of its products does not necessarily abuse its dominant position within the meaning of Article 82 merely because it intends to restrict parallel trade, provided it can demonstrate an objective justification for this conduct.
Ordinarily the benefits of parallel trade are reaped by those who are able to buy the products at a lower price on the market.
Nor does he preclude the possibility that a restriction of supply by a dominant pharmaceutical undertaking might fall foul of the Court’s established case law on refusal to supply if it had negative consequences for competition arising other than as a consequence of its restriction of parallel trade.

 Bird & BirdRestriction of parallel trade by a dominant pharmaceutical company not automatically abusive
The AG recalls that, according to settled case law, a dominant firm may be obliged to supply its products, but this only applies in exceptional circumstances, for example where a refusal to supply would seriously distort competition in a downstream market.
Moreover, the AG observes that the criteria for determining whether behaviour is abusive are highly dependent on the specific economic and regulatory context of each case.
Thirdly, such parallel trade does not always produce any benefit for the consumer since in some circumstances the only benefit derived goes to the distribution chain.

These Germanic invaders dominated the original Celtic-speaking inhabitants, whose languages survived in areas not under Germanic domination: Scotland, Wales, Brittany, Cornwall, and Ireland.
The dialects spoken by the invaders dominated almost all of what is now called England and formed what is today called the Old English language, which resembled some coastal dialects in what are now northwest Germany and the Netherlands (i.e.
Later, it was influenced by the related North Germanic language Old Norse, spoken by the Vikings who settled mainly in the north and the east coast down to London, the area known as the Danelaw.

In particular, scheduling methods must consider the scale of the system, with the increased likelihood of creating bottlenecks, along with the NUMA characteristics of the system, and the benefits to be gained by placing threads close to their code and data.
The parallel threads of a job are run in a single processor pool, unless there are performance advantages for a job to span multiple pools.
The execution time of a parallel application is directly related to the number of processors it is allocated and, in shared-memory non-uniform memory access time (NUMA) multiprocessors, which processors it is allocated.

 National Partnership for Advanced Computational Infrastructure: Archives
The other major parallel architecture is Symmetric Multi-Processor (SMP) or Shared Memory multiprocessors, and consists of a collection of CPUs that share memory via an internal network, usually bus- or cross-bar- based.
Once a version using shared-memory parallelism has been created and the program compiled, each MPI process running on a node would then be able to spawn a number of shared-memory lightweight threads.
Aside from the temporary necessity of using the hybrid model until the new switch arrives, there is reason to believe that there are performance advantages to using a programming model that closely matches the underlying machine architecture.
