This paper presents a model for instruction-level distributed computing that allows the implementation of scalable chip multiprocessors. Based on explicit microthreading it serves ...
Scaling of CMOS technology causes the power supply voltages to fall and supply currents to rise at the same time as operating speeds are increasing. Falling supply voltages cause ...
SGI recently introduced the Altix 3700. In contrast to previous SGI systems, the Altix uses a modified version of the open source Linux operating system and the latest Intel IA-64...
