Abstract. Sparse matrix-vector multiplication is an important computational kernel that tends to perform poorly on modern processors, largely because of its high ratio of memory op...
For most parallel and high performance systems, tuning guides provide the users with advices to optimize the execution time of their programs. Execution time may be very sensitive...
We describe the distributed high performance computing system we have developed to integrate together a heterogeneous set of high performance computers, high capacity storage syst...

Software distributed shared memory (DSM) techniques, while effective on applications with coarse-grained sharing, yield poor performance for the fine-grained sharing encountered i...
In this paper we present the results of a study designed to evaluate the computer-based methods of learning American Sign Language (ASL). We describe a method including an initial...
