The low cost of clusters built using commodity components has made it possible for many more users to purchase their own supercomputer. However, even modest-sized clusters make si...
One of the promises of parallelized discrete-event simulation is that it might provide significant speedups over sequential simulation. In reality, high performance cannot be achi...
The rapid growth of silicon densities has made it feasible to deploy reconfigurable hardware as a highly parallel computing platform. However, in most cases, the application needs...
