Abstract
MPI is a de facto standard for parallel programming on distributed memory system although writing MPI programs is often a time-consuming and complicated work. We propose a simple programming model named OpenMPD for distributed memory system. It provides directives for data parallelization, which allow incremental parallelization for a sequential code as like as OpenMP. The result of evaluation shows that OpenMPD archieves 3 to 8 times of speed-up with a PC cluster with 8 processors with a small modification to the original sequential code.
