Moral Good, the Beatific Vision, and God’s Kingdom Writings by Germain Grisez and Peter Ryan, S.J.. Edited by Peter J. Weigel
No full textFor close to half a century, the work of Germain Grisez has been highly influential, and his writings continue to receive considerable attention from philosophers and theologians of diverse viewpoints. His co-author for this work is the professor and noted moral theologian Fr. Peter Ryan, S.J., currently the executive director of the Secretariat of Doctrine and Canonical Affairs of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB). These two eminent scholars explore fundamental questions about Christian eschatology, moral theory, the purpose of human life, and the promise of human fulfilment. The authors examine Christian teaching on the final destiny of persons, investigating the meaning of God's kingdom, the hope of the beatific vision, and the centrality of moral goodness and divine grace in one's final end. This work is an ideal source for students, scholars, ministers and lay persons interested in basic questions of Christian theology, the philosophy of religion, ethical theory, and Catholic doctrin

A DSL based toolchain for design space exploration in structured parallel programming
No full textWe introduce a DSL based toolchain supporting the design of parallel applications where parallelism is structured after parallel design pattern compositions. A DSL provides the possibility to write high level parallel design pattern expressions representing the structure of parallel applications, to refactor the pattern expressions, to evaluate their non-functional properties (e.g. ideal performance, total parallelism degree, etc.) and finally to generate parallel code ready to be compiled and run on different target architectures. We discuss a proof-of-concept prototype implementation of the proposed toolchain generating FastFlow code and show some preliminary results achieved using the prototype implementation.</p

State-Aware Concurrency Throttling
No full textReconfiguration of parallel applications has gained traction with the increasing emphasis on energy/performance trade-off. The ability to dynamically change the amount of resources used by an application allows reaction to changes in the environment, in the application behavior or in the user's requirements. A popular technique consists in changing the number of threads used by the application (Dynamic Concurrency Throttling). Although this provides good control of application performance and power consumption, managing the technique can impose a significant burden on the application programmer, mainly due to state management and redistribution following the addition or removal of a thread. Nevertheless, some common state access patterns have been identified in some popular applications. By leveraging on this knowledge, we will describe how it is possible to simplify the state management procedures following a Concurrency Throttling operation.</p
State Access Patterns in Stream Parallel Computations
Full text linkWe introduce a set of state access patterns suitable for managing accesses to state in parallel computations operating on streams. The state access patterns are useful for modelling typical stream parallel applications. We present a classification of the patterns according to the extent and way in which the state can be structured and accessed. We define precisely the state access patterns and discuss possible implementation schemas, performances and possibilities to manage adaptivity (parallelism degree) in the patterns. We present experimental results relative to implementations built on top of the structured parallel programming framework FastFlow that demonstrate the feasibility and efficiency of the proposed access patterns
