The imprecise computation model provides the ability to cope with unpredictable workloads. However, there is no consistent way on how to terminate the computation in its early sta...
Conventional performance evaluation mechanisms focus on dedicated distributed systems. Grid computing infrastructure, on another hand, is a shared collaborative environment constr...
We describe imprecise calendars, a way to organize and schedule clusters of nodes in a computation grid. Imprecise calendars permit the easy and efficient sharing of resources bet...
The Merrimac supercomputer uses stream processors and a highradix network to achieve high performance at low cost and low power. The stream architecture matches the capabilities o...
