This paper presents and validates performance models for a variety of high-performance collective communication algorithms for systems with Cell processors. The systems modeled in...
BlueGene/L is currently the world’s fastest supercomputer. It consists of a large number of low power dual-processor compute nodes interconnected by high speed torus and collect...
Metacomputing infrastructures couple multiple clusters (or MPPs) via wide-area networks. A major problem in programming parallel applications for such platforms is their hierarchi...
Wireless sensor networks promise fine-grain monitoring in a wide variety of environments. Many of these environments (e.g., indoor environments or habitats) can be harsh for wire...
