Ethernet line rates are projected to reach 100 Gbits/s by as soon as 2010. While in principle suitable for high performance clustered and parallel applications, Ethernet requires ...
There is a multicore platform that is currently concentrating an enormous attention due to its tremendous potential in terms of sustained performance: the NVIDIA Tesla boards. The...
Recent development in computer hardware has brought more wide-spread emergence of shared-memory, multi-core systems. These architectures offer opportunities to speed up various ta...
We apply Amdahl's Law to multicore chips using symmetric cores, asymmetric cores, and dynamic techniques that allows cores to work together on sequential execution. To Amdahl...
The Cell Broadband Engine (Cell BE) is a heterogeneous multi-core processor specifically designed to exploit thread-level parallelism. Its memory model comprehends a common shared ...
