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...
Data access in HPC infrastructures is realized via user-level networking and OS-bypass techniques through which nodes can communicate with high bandwidth and low-latency. Virtualiz...
Pilot-job systems have emerged as a computation paradigm to cope with heterogeneity of production grids, greatly improving fault ratios and latency. Tools like DIANE, WISDOM-II, To...
Abstract. In modern parallel and distributed systems, the time for exchanging data is usually larger than that for computing elementary operations. Consequently, these communicatio...

In response to the constant increase in wire delays, Non-Uniform Cache Architecture (NUCA) has been introduced as an effective memory model for dealing with growing memory latenci...
An upgrade from dual-core to quad-core AMD processor on the Cray XT system at the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) Leadership Computing Facility (LCF) has resulted in significa...

Abstract. Cloud computing platforms provide scalability and high availability properties for web applications but they sacrifice data consistency at the same time. However, many a...
With the increasing use of large image and video archives and high-resolution multimedia data streams in many of today’s research and application areas, there is a growing need f...
