NAMD is a scalable molecular dynamics application, which has demonstrated its performance on several parallel computer architectures. Strong scaling is necessary for molecular dyn...
Many of today’s complex systems are multithreaded servers that effectively run forever and need to work under varying loads and environments. Understanding the behavior of such ...
The characteristics of irregular algorithms make a parallel implementation difficult, especially for PC clusters or clusters of SMPs. These characteristics may include an unpredi...
This paper describes a generic mechanism to migrate threads in heterogeneous distributed environments. To maintain high portability and flexibility, thread migration is implement...
