Computations with sparse matrices on "multicore cache based" computers are affected by the irregularity of the problem at hand, and performance degrades easily. In this ...
Due to the ever-widening performance gap between processors and disks, I/O operations tend to become the major performance bottleneck of data-intensive applications on modern clus...
