Recently many large scale computer systems are built in order to meet the high storage and processing demands of compute and data-intensive applications. MapReduce is one of the mo...
Online interaction with computer systems and applications allows developers to monitor, experiment with, and debug long-running, resource-intensive applicationsat runtime. Traditi...
In order to reduce the overhead of synchronizing operations of shared memory multiprocessors, this paper proposes a mechanism, named specMEM, to execute memory accesses following ...
Wavefront algorithms, such as the Smith-Waterman algorithm, are commonly used in bioinformatics for exact local and global sequence alignment. These algorithms are highly computat...
In recent years the computing power of graphics cards has increased significantly. Indeed, the growth in the computing power of these graphics cards is now several orders of magn...
