Consider parallel execution of an MPI-coded C program in SPMD (single program and multiple data streams) mode on a server cluster consisting of n identical Linux servers. SPMD mode means the same MPI program is running simultaneously on all servers but over different data sets of identical workloads. Assume that 25 percent of the program execution is attributed to the execution of MPI commands. For simplicity, assume that all MPI commands take the same amount of execution time. Answer the following questions using Amdahl’s law:

a. Given that the total execution time of the MPI program on a four-server cluster is T minutes, what is the speedup factor of executing the same MPI program on a 256-server cluster, compared with using the four-server cluster? Assume that the program execution is deadlock-free and ignore all other runtime execution overheads in the calculation.

b. Suppose that all MPI commands are now enhanced by a factor of 2 by using active messages executed by message handlers at the user space. The enhancement can reduce the execution time of all MPI commands by half. What is the speedup of the 256-server cluster installed with this MPI enhancement, computed with the old 256-server cluster without MPI enhancement?

Ihave a music player on my phone. i can buy songs, add them to playlists and play them. obviously it would be redundant to store each song in each playlist; each playlist is just a list of pointers to the songs. for this lab you will simulate this behavior. your program will need to have options to: add songs to the system library (you will store the text of the first line of the song, rather than the audio) add playlists add songs to a playlist list playlists play a playlist list all of the songs in the library with a count of how many times each song has been played remove a song from a playlist remove a playlist remove a song from the library (and thus from all playlists that contain it) note that we will not be checking many error cases. in real programming this would be bad, you should usually try to recognize and respond to as many types of errors as you can. in the context of class we are trying to acquaint you with as many concepts as possible, so for the sake of educational efficiency we will not be checking most errors in this lab, you may assume that your user provides correct input. you may add all appropriate error testing if you wish, but we will not be testing for it.
