This paper describes the parallelization of a commercial molecular dynamics simulation code, GROMOS96, on a SCI (Scalable Coherent Interface) interconnected PC cluster. The underly...
Using a directed acyclic graph (dag) model of algorithms, we solve a problem related to precedenceconstrained multiprocessor schedules for array computations: Given a sequence of ...
Coordination languages have recently been attracting signi cant attention as a means of programming parallel and distributed systems. The approach of separating coordination from ...
