We study the issue of performance prediction on the SGIPower Challenge, a typical SMP. On such a platform, the cost of memory accesses depends on their locality and on contention ...

Mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) define a challenging computing scenario where access to resources is restrained by connectivity among hosts. Replication offers an opportunity to in...
Distributed computing is increasingly important at a time when the doubling of the number of transistors on a processor every 18 months no longer translates in a doubling of speed ...
The exponential distribution is a key distribution in many event-driven Monte-Carlo simulations, where it is used to model the time between random events in the system. This paper...
—While many-core accelerator architectures, such as today’s Graphics Processing Units (GPUs), offer orders of magnitude more raw computing power than contemporary CPUs, their m...
