Predicting how well applications may run on modern systems is becoming increasingly challenging. It is no longer sufficient to look at number of floating point operations and commu...
We compare the performance of systems consisting of one large cluster containing q processors with systems where processors are grouped into k clusters containing u processors eac...
Many new paradigms of parallel programming have emerged that compete with and complement the standard and well-established MPI model. Most notable, and successful, among these are...
Object-oriented modeling and design is a way of solving problems using models based upon real-world concepts. In this paradigm, the fundamental construct is the object, an entity ...
Communication subsystems are used in high-performance parallel computing systems to abstract the lower network layer. By using a communication subsystem, an upper middleware librar...
