This paper presents a fundamental law for parallel performance: it shows that parallel performance is not only limited by sequential code (as suggested by Amdahl’s law) but is a...
For years, the computation rate of processors has been much faster than the access rate of memory banks, and this divergence in speeds has been constantly increasing in recent yea...

Global address space languages like UPC exhibit high performance and portability on a broad class of shared and distributed memory parallel architectures. The most scalable applic...
Information System Engineering has become under increasing pressure to come up with software solutions that endow systems with the agility that is required to evolve in a continual...
Efficient and robust metacomputing requires the decomposition of complex jobs into tasks that must be scheduled on distributed processing nodes. There are various ways of creating...
