We comparethe performance of software-supported shared memory on a general-purpose network to hardware-supported shared memory on a dedicated interconnect. Up to eight processors,...

To understand the principles of information processing in the brain, we depend on models with more than 105 neurons and 109 connections. These networks can be described as graphs o...

Demand for programming environments to exploit clusters of symmetric multiprocessors (SMPs) is increasing. In this paper, we present a new programming environment, called ParADE, ...
Symmetric Multiprocessors (SMPs), combined with modern interconnection technologies are commonly used to build cost-effective compute clusters. However, contention among processor...
Over the last decade, Message Passing Interface (MPI) has become a very successful parallel programming environment for distributed memory architectures such as clusters. However, ...
