Large scale compute clusters continue to grow to ever-increasing proportions. However, as clusters and applications continue to grow, the Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF) has redu...
In this paper, a programming model is presented which enables scalable parallel performance on multi-core shared memory architectures. The model has been developed for application...
Abstract--The now commonplace multi-core chips have introduced, by design, a deep hierarchy of memory and cache banks within parallel computers as a tradeoff between the user frien...
