THE INFORMATION ON THIS PAGE IS NOW OBSOLETE.

The automatic conversion from affine loops to JDF has been deprecated (the Q2J tool has been removed from the PaRSEC project).

As an alternative, you can:

Write a PTG representation of the algorithm in a JDF file directly.
Use the DTD DSL to express the algorithm as affine loops in the inspector-executor model.

How to Write a PaRSEC-Enabled Operation by using the PaRSEC Compiler (i.e., Q2J)

See Understanding the Compilation process to get a big picture.

If you didn't compile the compiler yet (it is an optional step, with additional tools dependences), see Compiling the PaRSEC Compiler below.

Calling the PaRSEC Compiler

Now What?

You should have a look at the generated JDF, maybe tune it, to add priorities, or change the data affinity. And then, proceed to the translation of the JDF into a C file, and a parsec opaque object. See the Calling the JDF Translator section of How to Write a PaRSEC-Enabled Operation by editing the JDF file directly.
