—High level languages greatly increase the power of a programmer at the cost of programs that consume more s than those written at a lower level of abstraction. This inefficienc...
Idle desktops have been successfully used to run sequential and master-slave task parallel codes on a large scale in the context of volunteer computing. However, execution of messa...
High-level control of parallel process behaviour simplifies the development of parallel software substantially by freeing the programmer from low-level process management and coor...
A primary problem in the performance measurement of high-level parallel programming languages is to map lowlevel events to high-level programming constructs. We discuss several as...
Abstract— John von Neumann proposed his famous architecture in a context where hardware was very expensive and bulky. His goal was to maximize functionality with minimal hardware...
