Parallel implementation of machine translation using MPJ Express

Abstract

In this paper we consider a machine translation (MT) system based on the tree adjoining grammar (TAG) formalism. We have successfully carried out sentence level parallelization and its parallel implementations on a multicore machine with varying number of cores and a computing cluster with multicore nodes. Since our code is in Java, we use MPJ Express for parallel implementations. We have carried out experiments with these parallel implementations and their performance is analysed.
