In high energy physics, bioinformatics, and other disciplines, we encounter applications involving numerous, loosely coupled jobs that both access and generate large data sets. So...
One model of multithreading gaining popularity on multiprocessor systems is the message-driven model of computation. The message-driven model is a reactive model in which an arriv...
Various studies have shown that OS jitter can degrade parallel program performance considerably at large processor counts. Most sources of system jitter fall broadly into 5 catego...
Performance asymmetry in multicore architectures arises when individual cores have different performance. Building such multicore processors is desirable because many simple cores...
