As the desire of scientists to perform ever larger computations drives the size of today’s high performance computers from hundreds, to thousands, and even tens of thousands of ...
A new fault tolerant architecture that provides tolerance to a broad scope of hardware, software, and communications faults is being developed. This architecture relies on widely ...
Recent work has shown the advantages of using persistent memory for transaction processing. In particular, the Vista transaction system uses recoverable memory to avoid disk I/O, ...
Networks of workstations and high-performance microcomputers have been rarely used for running highperformance applicationslike multimedia, simulations,scientific and engineering ...
Programmers and users of compute intensive scientific applications often do not want to (or even cannot) code load balancing and fault tolerance into their programs. The PBEAM syst...
