Memory-intensive threads can hoard shared resources without making progress on a multithreading processor (SMT), thereby hindering the overall system performance. A recent promisi...
Scalability of clusters and MPPs is typically discussed in terms of limits on growth: something which grows at a rate of O(log p) (where p is the number of processors) is said to ...
Economic principles are increasingly being suggested for addressing some complex issues related to distributed resource allocation for QoS (Quality of Service) enhancement. Many p...
Clusters of high-end workstations and PCs are currently used in many application domains to perform large-scale computations or as scalable servers for I/O bound tasks. Although cl...
In this paper we present a cost-effective, high bandwidth server I/O network architecture, named PaScal (Parallel and Scalable). We use the PaScal server I/O network to support da...
