This paper proposes the study of a new computation model that attempts to address the underlying sources of performance degradation (e.g. latency, overhead, and starvation) and th...

A method is presented for modeling application performance on parallel computers in terms of the performance of microkernels from the HPC Challenge benchmarks. Specifically, the a...
In a cluster of multiple processors or cpu-cores, many processes may run on each compute node. Each process tends to issue contiguous I/O requests for snapshot, checkpointing or s...
