We introduce a new performance metric, called Load Balancing Factor (LBF), to assist programmers with evaluating different tuning alternatives. The LBF metric differs from traditi...
New heterogeneous multiprocessor platforms are emerging that are typically composed of loosely coupled components that exchange data using programmable interconnections. The compon...
This paper emphasizes on load balancing issues associated with hybrid programming models for the parallelization of fully permutable nested loops onto SMP clusters. Hybrid paralle...
The message-passing paradigm is now widely accepted and used mainly for inter-process communication in distributed memory parallel systems. However, one of its disadvantages is the...
Building distributed systems is an inherently difficult and complex task. Modern middleware architectures assist developers ding abstractions that hide transport layer functionali...
