The performance of the protocol stack implementation of an operating system can greatly impact the performance of networked applications that run on it. In this paper, we present a...
Various studies have shown that OS jitter can degrade parallel program performance considerably at large processor counts. Most sources of system jitter fall broadly into 5 catego...
Before an application modelled as a Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG) is executed on a heterogeneous system, a DAG mapping policy is often enacted. After mapping, the tasks (in the DAG...
