What type of problems can be solved with BSP and how?

Hi,

The subject says everything. I was looking for some papers and articles for
the same and could not find much. Any pointers would be appreciated.

Something similar as below for BSP.

http://www.umiacs.umd.edu/~jimmylin/book.html

What I could find was blogs by Thomas.

Yep  Bill McColl is a specialist in BSP as well.
Thanks for the papers, I didn't know them.

Thanks, I'm going to directly propose Hama for Mahout.

Hi,

Long time back I had come across few papers. I have personally not read
them, would do so in "spare time" :)

I think BSP was introduced to world in this - A bridging model for parallel
computation - Leslie Valiant

The other papers span into many areas. I have not read any of these.
Forgive my efforts on providing good bibliographic records.

All-Pairs Shortest Paths Computation in the BSP Model - Alexandre Tiskin
Using the BSP Cost Model to Optimise Parallel Neural Network Training
- R.O. Rogers and D.B. Skillicorn
BSP Functional Programming: Examples of a Cost Based Methodology
- Fr´ed´eric Gava
Efficient Parallel Graph Algorithms for Coarse Grained Multicomputers and
BSP* - E. Caceres F. Dehne et. al
Parallel Priority Queue and List Contraction: The BSP Approach*
- Alexandros V. Gerbessiotis, Constantinos J. Siniolakis and Alexandre
Tiskin
Memory-Efficient Matrix Multiplication in the BSP Model - W. F. McColl and
A. Tiskin ( Wanted to read this and see Thomas's implementation)
A Parallel BSP Algorithm for Irregular Dynamic Programming - Malcolm Yoke
Hean Low, Weiguo Liu, and Bertil Schmidt


*** For Hama Infrastructure:*
Oblivious BSP - Jesus A. Gonzalez , Coromoto Leon , Fabiana Piccoli ,
Marcela Printista, José L. Roda , Casiano Rodriguez , and Francisco de

- Jonathan M. Nash, Peter M. Dew and John R. Davy

Suddenly we can have a reading group ;). Once again sorry for not been able
to provide links. Please use Google Scholar.

Thanks,
