We have built an eight node SMP cluster called COMPaS (Cluster Of Multi-Processor Systems), each node of which is a quadprocessor Pentium Pro PC. We have designed and implemented a...
In adaptive irregular problems the data arrays are accessed via indirection arrays, and data access patterns change during computation. Implementingsuch problems ondistributed mem...
