In recent years, we have witnessed a growing interest in high performance computing (HPC) using a cluster of workstations. However, many challenges remain to be resolved before th...
Recently, energy has become an important issue in highperformance computing. For example, supercomputers that have energy in mind, such as BlueGene/L, have been built; the idea is...
