Clusters of SMPs are becoming increasingly common. However, the shared memory design of SMPs and the consequential contention between system processors for access to main memory c...
Current high-end parallel systems achieve low-latency, highbandwidth network communication through the use of aggressive design techniques and expensive mechanical and electrical ...
Cluster applications that process large amounts of data, such as parallel scientific or multimedia applications, are likely to cause swapping on individual cluster nodes. These ap...
