Many communication-centred systems today rely on asynchronous messaging among distributed peers to make efficient use of parallel execution and resource access. With such asynchron...
We study the forward and backward substitution phases of a sparse multifrontal factorization. These phases are often neglected in papers on sparse direct factorization but, in man...

Secure coprocessors have traditionally been used as a keystone of a security subsystem, eliminating the need to protect the rest of the subsystem with physical security measures. ...
Just as electronic systems implement computation in terms of voltage (energy per unit charge), molecular systems compute in terms of chemical concentrations (molecules per unit vo...
A method is presented for modeling application performance on parallel computers in terms of the performance of microkernels from the HPC Challenge benchmarks. Specifically, the a...
