Bulk Synchronous Parallel
Bulk Synchronous Parallel (BSP) is a parallel computing model that organizes computation into a series of supersteps. Each superstep consists of local computations followed by a global communication phase, allowing processes to exchange data. This structure helps manage synchronization and communication efficiently.
BSP is designed to simplify the development of parallel algorithms by providing a clear framework. It allows programmers to focus on the computation and communication aspects without worrying about the underlying hardware. This model is particularly useful for large-scale computations in fields like scientific computing and data analysis.
