The availability of inexpensive “off the shelf” machines increases the likelihood that parallel programs run on heterogeneous clusters of machines. These programs are increasi...
Clusters are now composed of non-uniform nodes with different CPUs, disks or network cards so that customers can adapt the cluster configuration to the changing technologies and t...

Network of workstation (NOW) is a cost-effective alternative to massively parallel supercomputers. As commercially available off-the-shelf processors become cheaper and faster, ...
High-performance computing increasingly occurs on "computational grids" composed of heterogeneous and geographically distributed systems of computers, networks, and stor...
Since the advent of electronic computing, the processors’ clock speed has risen tremendously. Now that energy efficiency requirements have stopped that trend, the number of proc...
