The era of parallel computing for the masses is here, but writing correct parallel programs remains far more difficult than writing sequential programs. Aside from a few domains,...
Many sorting algorithms have been studied in the past, but there are only a few algorithms that can effectively exploit both SIMD instructions and threadlevel parallelism. In this...
High-performance computing increasingly occurs on "computational grids" composed of heterogeneous and geographically distributed systems of computers, networks, and stor...
Circuit-switched Banyan interconnection networks can be built from simple switching elements that do not have logical processing or buffering capabilities. This paper describes a ...
The advent of UML 2.0 has provided a new set of concepts more apt for modeling the structure and behavior of distributed systems. These concepts and mechanisms can be effectively ...
