Abstract. Silicon chip design has passed a threshold whereby exponentially increasing transistor density (Moore’s Law) no longer translates into increased processing power for si...
MapReduce provides a parallel and scalable programming model for data-intensive business and scientific applications. MapReduce and its de facto open source project, called Hadoop...
: Solving problems in bioinformatics often needs extensive computational power. Current trends in processor architecture, especially massive multi-core processors for graphic cards...
The Instruction Set Architecture (ISA) of a programmable processor is the native languageof the machine. It defines the set of operations and resourcesthat are optimized for that ...
—While many-core accelerator architectures, such as today’s Graphics Processing Units (GPUs), offer orders of magnitude more raw computing power than contemporary CPUs, their m...
