Recently many large scale computer systems are built in order to meet the high storage and processing demands of compute and data-intensive applications. MapReduce is one of the mo...
The development of efficient parallel out-of-core applications is often tedious, because of the need to explicitly manage the movement of data between files and data structures ...
This paper introduces an object-passing model for parallel and distributed application development. Object passing provides the object-oriented application developer with powerful...
New heterogeneous multiprocessor platforms are emerging that are typically composed of loosely coupled components that exchange data using programmable interconnections. The compon...
When implementing an application system in a distributed computing environment, several architectural questions arise such as, how and where computing resources are distributed, a...
