We investigate operating system noise, which we identify as one of the main reasons for a lack of synchronicity in parallel applications. Using a microbenchmark, we measure the no...

Abstract--With the development of high-performance computing, I/O issues have become the bottleneck for many massively parallel applications. This paper investigates scalable paral...

Abstract. P systems (known also as membrane systems) are biologically motivated theoretical models of distributed and parallel computing. The two most interesting questions in the ...
In processors with several levels of hardware resource sharing, like CMPs in which each core is an SMT, the scheduling process becomes more complex than in processors with a singl...

Given the scale of massively parallel systems, occurrence of faults is no longer an exception but a regular event. Periodic checkpointing is becoming increasingly important in the...
