Abstract: Abstract It is challenging to parallelize a real application without the knowledge of low level modes of parallelism available in the application, such as data parallelism and task parallelism. Until now, the parallel programming models focus on these low level modes of a program to exploit parallelism. FastFlow provides an alternative high level pattern based mechanism to parallelize an application. It provides pattern specific constructs to parallelize an application, in order to achieve good parallel performance and ease of programming. FastFlow has been evaluated for basic kernels. In this paper we evaluate it based on a real-world application from Molecular Dynamics.
