Rapid commoditization of advanced hardware and progress of networking technology is now making wide area high-performance computing a.k.a. the ‘Grid’ Computing a reality. Sinc...
Due to power wall, memory wall, and ILP wall, we are facing the end of ever increasing single-threaded performance. For this reason, multicore and manycore processors are arising ...
Modern high speed interconnects such as Myrinet and Gigabit Ethernet have shifted the bottleneck in communication from the interconnect to the messaging software at the sending an...
Using virtual machines as a resource provisioning mechanism offers multiple benefits, most recently exploited by “infrastructure-as-a-service” clouds, but also poses several...
