In this paper we have characterized the inter-arrival time and service time distributions for jobs at a large MPP supercomputing center. Our findings show that the distributions ...
Transactional memory promises to make parallel programming easier than with fine-grained locking, while performing just as well. This performance claim is not always borne out bec...
Dynamic Power Management (DPM) is a design methodology aiming at reducing power consumption of electronic systems by performing selective shutdown of idle system resources. The eff...
