In processors that do not support floating-point instructions, using fixed-point arithmetic instead of floating-point emulation trades off computation accuracy for execution spe...
Abstract. In recent years, there has been a surge of interest in Javabased volunteer computing systems, which aim to make it possible to build very large parallel computing network...
Abstract. Conventional performance environments are based on pro ling and event instrumentation. It becomes problematic as parallel systems scale to hundreds of nodes and beyond. A...
