Item Open Access Model-driven approach for supporting the mapping of parallel algorithms to parallel computing platforms(Springer, Berlin, Heidelberg, 2013) Arkin, E.; Tekinerdogan, Bedir; Imre, K.M.The trend from single processor to parallel computer architectures has increased the importance of parallel computing. To support parallel computing it is important to map parallel algorithms to a computing platform that consists of multiple parallel processing nodes. In general different alternative mappings can be defined that perform differently with respect to the quality requirements for power consumption, efficiency and memory usage. The mapping process can be carried out manually for platforms with a limited number of processing nodes. However, for exascale computing in which hundreds of thousands of processing nodes are applied, the mapping process soon becomes intractable. To assist the parallel computing engineer we provide a model-driven approach to analyze, model, and select feasible mappings. We describe the developed toolset that implements the corresponding approach together with the required metamodels and model transformations. We illustrate our approach for the well-known complete exchange algorithm in parallel computing. © 2013 Springer-Verlag.Item Open Access Model-driven engineering of software architecture viewpoints(Bilkent University, 2012) Demirli, ElifA common practice in software architecture design is to apply so-called architectural views to design software architecture for the various stakeholder concerns. Architectural views are usually developed based on architectural viewpoints which define the conventions for constructing, interpreting and analyzing views. So far most architectural viewpoints seem to have been primarily used either to support the communication among stakeholders, or at the best to provide a blueprint for the detailed design. In this thesis, we provide a software language engineering approach to define viewpoints as domain specific languages. This enhances the formal precision of architectural viewpoints and leads to executable views that can be interpreted and analyzed by tools. We illustrate our approach for defining domain specific languages for the viewpoints of the Views and Beyond framework. The approach is implemented as an Eclipse plug-in, SAVE-Bench tool, which can be used to define different views based on the predefined software architecture viewpoints. The tool also supports automatic generation of architecture documentation from view models.Item Open Access Software language engineering of architectural viewpoints(Springer, Berlin, Heidelberg, 2011) Demirli, Elif; Tekinerdoğan, BedirA common practice in software architecture design is to apply architectural views to design software architecture for the various stakeholder concerns.
