We study the issue of performance prediction on the SGIPower Challenge, a typical SMP. On such a platform, the cost of memory accesses depends on their locality and on contention ...

Embedded real-time multimedia applications usually imply data parallel processing. SIMD processors embedded in SOCs are cost-effective to exploit the underlying parallelism. Howev...
As commodity microprocessors and networks reach performance levels comparable to those used in massively parallel processors, clusters of symmetric multiprocessors are starting to...
Design decisions for complex, component-based systems impact multiple quality of service (QoS) properties. Often, means to improve one quality property deteriorate another one. In ...

The current trend in HPC hardware is towards clusters of shared-memory (SMP) compute nodes. For applications developers the major question is how best to program these SMP cluster...
