Clustering, or unsupervised classification, has many uses in fields that depend on grouping results from large amount of data, an example being the N-body cosmological simulation ...
Using off-the-shelf commodity workstations and PCs to build a cluster for parallel computing has become a common practice. A choice of a cost-effective cluster computing platform ...
Abstract. While standard processors achieve supercomputer performance, a performance gap exists between the interconnect of MPP's and COTS. Standard solutions like Ethernet ca...
Debugging the performance of parallel and distributed systems remains a difficult task despite the widespread use of middleware packages for automatic distribution, communication...
Dynamically allocating computing nodes to parallel applications is a promising technique for improving the utilization of cluster resources. We introduce the concept of dynamic ef...
