Data parallel compilers have long aimed to equal the performance of carefully hand-optimized parallel codes. For tightly-coupled applications based on line sweeps, this goal has b...
Today’s Multi-player Online Games (MOGs) are challenged by infrastructure requirements, because of their server-centric nature. Peer-to-peer networks are an interesting alternat...
Interest in Graphical Processing Units (GPUs) is skyrocketing due to their potential to yield spectacular performance on many important computing applications. Unfortunately, writ...
With the rapid replacement of closed, homogeneous, proprietary HPC systems by heterogeneous, Linux-MPI cluster systems, the state of performance monitoring and analysis tools has ...
Understanding why the performance of a multithreaded program does not improve linearly with the number of cores in a sharedmemory node populated with one or more multicore process...
