Abstract. The functional performance model (FPM) of heterogeneous processors has proven to be more realistic than the traditional models because it integrates many important featur...
Power consumption is a troublesome design constraint for emergent systems such as IBM’s BlueGene /L. If current trends continue, future petaflop systems will require 100 megawat...
Improvements in microprocessor and networking performance have made networks of workstations a very attractive platform for high-end parallel and distributed computing. However, t...
This paper describes a new method for providingtransparent fault tolerance for parallel applications on a network of workstations. We have designed our method in the context of sh...
Dynamic load balancing(DLB) for parallel systems has been studied extensively; however, DLB for distributed systems is relatively new. To efficiently utilize computing resources p...
