Excessive power consumption is becoming a major barrier to extracting the maximum performance from high-performance parallel systems. Therefore, techniques oriented towards reduci...
The I/O access patterns of many parallel applications consist of accesses to a large number of small, noncontiguous pieces of data. If an application's I/O needs are met by m...
