Abstract-- Flash-based solid state disks (SSDs) are an alternative form of storage device that promises to deliver higher performance than the traditional mechanically rotating har...
Multicore processors have not only reintroduced Non-Uniform Memory Access (NUMA) architectures in nowadays parallel computers, but they are also responsible for non-uniform access ...
— This article presents an evolution of classical SPMD programming for clusters and grids. It is named ”Object-Oriented SPMD” as it is based on remote method invocation. More...
Efficient memory allocation and data transfer for cluster-based data-intensive applications is a difficult task. Both changes in cluster interconnects and application workloads ...
Programming heterogeneous parallel computer systems is notoriously difficult, but MIMD models have proven to be portable across multi-core processors, clusters, and massively paral...
