SIMPLE is a framework for implementation of parallel algorithms using our methodology for developing high performance programs running on clusters of SMP nodes. Our methodology is based on a small kernel (SIMPLE) of collective communication primitives that make efficient use of the hybrid shared and message passing environment. We illustrate the power of our methodology by presenting experimental results for sorting integers, two-dimensional fast Fourier transforms (FFT), and constraint-satisfied searching.
