The MPI remote-memory access (RMA) operations provide a different programming model from the regular MPI-1 point-to-point operations. This model is particularly appropriate for ca...
The applicability of network-based computing depends on the availability of the underlying network bandwidth. However, network resources are shared and the available network bandw...
The Internet and the Grid are changing the face of high performance computing. Rather than tightly-coupled SPMD-style components running in a single cluster, on a parallel machine...
Power dissipation is a major concern not only for portable systems, but also for high-performance systems. In the past, energy consumption and processor heating was reduced mainly...
We describe the design and implementation of a high performance cloud that we have used to archive, analyze and mine large distributed data sets. By a cloud, we mean an infrastruc...
