As processor speeds rapidly approach the Giga-Hertz regime, the disparity between process time and memory access time plays an increasing role in the overall limitation of processo...
The traditional high-level algorithms for rigid body simulation work well for moderate numbers of bodies but scale poorly to systems of hundreds or more moving, interacting bodies...
Improvements in microprocessor and networking performance have made networks of workstations a very attractive platform for high-end parallel and distributed computing. However, t...
With the increasing complexity of large-scale distributed (LSD) systems, an efficient monitoring mechanism has become an essential service for improving the performance and reliab...
