Given the large communication overheads characteristic of modern parallel machines, optimizations that eliminate, hide or parallelize communication may improve the performance of ...
Irregular parallel algorithms pose a significant challenge for achieving high performance because of the difficulty predicting memory access patterns or execution paths. Within an...
Wavefront computations, characterized by a data dependent flow of computation across a data space, are receiving increasing attention as an important class of parallel computation...

We have developed a methodology for predicting the performance of parallel algorithms on real parallel machines. The methodology consists of two steps. First, we characterize a mac...
We have designed, built, and analyzed a distributed parallel storage system that will supply image streams fast enough to permit multi-user, "real-time", video-like appl...
