: This is a position paper introducing blob computing: A Blob is a generic primitive used to structure a uniform computing substrate into an easier-to-program parallel virtual mach...
The Private Network-to-Network Interface (PNNI) is a scalable hierarchical protocol that allows ATM switches to be aggregated into clusters called peer groups. To provide good acc...
In this paper we present a cost-effective, high bandwidth server I/O network architecture, named PaScal (Parallel and Scalable). We use the PaScal server I/O network to support da...
Network infrastructures are nowadays getting more and more complex as security considerations and technical needs like network address translation are blocking traffic and protocol...
Current high performance computer systems use complex, large superscalar CPUs that interface to the main memory through a hierarchy of caches and interconnect systems. These CPU-c...
