In the past decade cluster computing platforms have been widely applied to support a variety of scientific and commercial applications, many of which are parallel in nature. Howev...
In chip-multiprocessors (CMPs), the number of cores and the issue width of each core presents an important design trade-off to balance the amount of TLP and ILP between multi-thre...
We present a new bit-parallel technique for approximate string matching. We build on two previous techniques. The first one, BPM [Myers, J. of the ACM, 1999], searches for a patte...
In this paper, we present an early performance evaluation of a 624-core cluster based on the Intel® Xeon® Processor 5560 (code named “Nehalem-EP”, and referred to as Xeon 55...
The probability that a failure will occur before the end of the computation increases as the number of processors used in a high performance computing application increases. For l...
