“MegaProto” is a proof-of-concept prototype for our project “Mega-Scale Computing Based on Low-Power Technology and Workload Modeling”, implementing our key idea that a mi...
The definition of a commodity component is quite obvious when it comes to the PC as a basic compute engine and building block for clusters of PCs. Looking at the options for a mo...
Aim of the paper is to develop a concise but comprehensive analytical model for the well-known Grace Hash Join algorithm on cost effective cluster architectures. This approach is ...
