Abstract--A hybrid MPI/Pthreads parallelization was implemented in the RAxML phylogenetics code. New MPI code was added to the existing Pthreads production code to exploit parallel...
We introduce a new performance metric, called Load Balancing Factor (LBF), to assist programmers with evaluating different tuning alternatives. The LBF metric differs from traditi...
Parallel programming is a requirement in the multi-core era. One of the most promising techniques to make parallel programming available for the general users is the use of parall...

The increasing performance gap between processors and memory will force future architectures to devote significant resources towards removing and hiding memory latency. The two ma...
Efficient determination of processing termination at barrier synchronization points can occupy an important role in the overall throughput of parallel and distributed computing sy...
