While improving raw performance is of primary interest to most users of high-performance computers, energy consumption also is a critical concern. Some microprocessors allow volta...
Clusters provide powerful computing environments, but in practice much of this power goes to waste, due to the static allocation of tasks to nodes, regardless of their changing co...
Abstract--For the management of a virtual P2P supercomputer one is interested in subgroups of processors that can communicate with each other efficiently. The task of finding these...
This paper presents an energy-conservation method for multiple disks and their cache memory. Our method periodically resizes the cache memory and controls the rotation speeds unde...
Hardware acceleration is crucial in modern embedded system design to meet the explosive demands on performance and cost. Selected computation kernels for acceleration are usually ...
