With the proliferation of multimedia data and evergrowing requests for multimedia applications, new challenges are emerged for efficient and effective managing and accessing large...
This paper presents the concept of pluggable parallelisation that allows scientists to develop “sequential like” codes that can take advantage of multi-core, cluster and grid ...
The main memory management has been a critical issue to provide high performance in web cluster systems. To overcome the speed gap between processors and disks, many prefetch sche...
Today’s global markets demand global processes. Increasingly, these processes are not only distributed, but also contain mobile aspects. We discuss two challenges brought about b...
- Due to the increasing complexity of scientific models, large-scale simulation tools often require a critical amount of computational power to produce results in a reasonable amou...
