—Various studies have pointed out the debilitating effects of OS Jitter on the performance of parallel applications on large clusters such as the ASCI Purple and the Mare Nostrum...
Driven by the market demand for high-definition 3D graphics, commodity graphics processing units (GPUs) have evolved into highly parallel, multi-threaded, many-core processors, whi...
This paper presents a new approach towards parallel I/O for message-passing (MPI) applications on clusters built with commodity hardware and an SCI interconnect: instead of using t...
We consider a cluster architecture in which dynamic content is generated by a database back-end and a collection of Web and application server front-ends. We study the effect of t...
We have implemented a virtual machine (VM) for Java which executes on a cluster. Our cluster VM completely hides the cluster from the application, presenting a single system image...
