Thanks to recent advances in virtualization technologies, it is now possible to benefit from the flexibility brought by virtual machines at little cost in terms of CPU performance....
On a distributed memory machine, hand-coded message passing leads to the most efficient execution, but it is difficult to use. Parallelizing compilers can approach the performance...
Current and emerging high-performance parallel computer architectures generally implement one of two types of communication mechanisms: shared memory (SM) or message passing (MP)....
A fundamental problem in distributed computing is performing a set despite failures and delays. Stated abstractly, the problem is to perform N tasks using P failure-prone processor...

We present a shared memory approach to the parallelization of the Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) metaheuristic and a performance comparison with an existing message passing implemen...
