Recently, system architects have built low-power, high-performance clusters, such as Green Destiny. The idea behind these clusters is to improve the energy efficiency of nodes. H...
—There are many APIs for connecting and exchanging data between network peers. Each interface varies wildly based on metrics including performance, portability, and complexity. S...
