Using off-the-shelf commodity workstations to build a cluster for parallel computing has become a common practice. In studying or designing a cluster of workstations one should ha...
Abstract--This paper proposes an analytical model to estimate the cost of running an affinity-based thread schedule on multicore systems. The model consists of three submodels to e...
The graphics processing unit (GPU) has evolved from a fixedfunction processor with programmable stages to a programmable processor with many fixed-function components that deliver...
—Partitioned global address space (PGAS) languages, such as Unified Parallel C (UPC) have the promise of being productive. Due to the shared address space view that they provide,...
