Abstract. Distributed applications running on clusters may be composed of several components with very different performance requirements. The FlowVR middleware allows the develop...
This study examined the interplay among processor speed, cluster interconnect and file I/O, using parallel applications to quantify interactions. We focused on a common case wher...
Abstract - We have experienced in our distributed applications that the network is the main limiting factor for performances on clusters. Indeed clusters are cheap and it is easier...
The execution of an application on a high performance system requires parameters concerning the problem in hand, and those that determine the system mapping, to be specified by a ...
