The phase-change random access memory (PRAM) technology is fast maturing to production levels. Main advantages of PRAM are non-volatility, byte addressability, in-place programmab...
Aggressive technology scaling over the years has helped improve processor performance but has caused a reduction in processor reliability. Shrinking transistor sizes and lower sup...
The emergence of multicore processors raises the need to efficiently transfer large amounts of data between local processes. MPICH2 is a highly portable MPI implementation whose l...
