We introduce a generic framework for the distributed execution of combinatorial optimization tasks. Instead of relying on custom hardware (like dedicated parallel machines or clus...
Networks of Workstations (NOW) have become important and cost-effective parallel platforms for scientific computations. In practice, a NOW system is heterogeneous and non-dedicat...
The memory overhead introduced by directories constitutes a major hurdle in the scalability of cc-NUMA architectures, which makes the shared-memory paradigm unfeasible for very la...
Massively Multiplayer Online Games (MMOG) require novel, scalable network architectures for a high amount of participating players in huge game worlds. Consequently, new and compl...
With the explosive growth of Internet traffic, the next generation switches are designed to provide forwarding speed up to 10Gbps or above. To meet the challenges of delivering wi...
