RSS processorsExploring the VLSI Scalability of Stream Processors
White Paper Stream processors are high-performance programmable processors optimized to run media applications. Recent work has shown these processors to be more area- and energy-efficient than conventional programmable architectures. [11 Jul 2008]
Using Destination-Set Prediction to Improve the Latency/Bandwidth Tradeoff in Shared-Memory Multiprocessors
White Paper The destination set is the collection of processors that receive a particular coherence request. Snooping protocols send requests to the maximal destination set (i.e.all processors), reducing latency for cache-to-cache misses at the expense of... [11 Jul 2008]
Fingerprinting: Bounding Soft-Error Detection Latency and Bandwidth
White Paper Fingerprinting summarizes a processor's execution history in a hash-based signature; differences between two mirrored processors are exposed by comparing their fingerprints. Recent studies have suggested that the soft-error rate in microprocessor... [11 Jul 2008]
Syncroness Chooses ADC's Revolutionary CopperTen 10-Gigabit Ethernet UTP Cabling for New Headquarters
White Paper These processes rely on distributed computing to combine the resources of several separate processors while consuming large amounts of bandwidth in order to solve problems. Syncroness employs more than 30 mechanical engineers who use the most... [11 Jul 2008]
Dynamic Load Balancing and CFD Simulations on the MecaGRID and GRID5000
White Paper If both the fast and slow processors are given the same amount of work, the faster processors will finish their computations first and wait for the slower processors to finish. To achieve load balancing more work must be given to the faster... [10 Jul 2008]
Load Balancing in Arbitrary Network Topologies With Stochastic Adversarial Input
White Paper It assumes a system of n processors connected by an arbitrary network topology. Jobs are placed in the processors by a deterministic or randomized adversary. The adversary knows the current and past load distribution in the network and can use this... [10 Jul 2008]
A Refinement-Tree Based Partitioning Method for Dynamic Load Balancing With Adaptively Refined Grids
White Paper The partitioning of an adaptive grid for distribution over parallel processors is considered in the context of adaptive multilevel methods for solving partial differential equations. A partitioning method based on the refinement-tree is presented. [10 Jul 2008]
A Framework for Distributed Dynamic Load Balancing in Heterogeneous Cluster
White Paper Distributed Dynamic Load Balancing (DDLB) is an important system function destined to distribute workload among available processors to improve throughput and/or execution times of parallel computer in Cluster Computing. [10 Jul 2008]
The Promise of Load Balancing the Parameterization of Moist Convection Using a Model Data Load Index
White Paper The parameterization of physical processes in atmospheric general circulation models contributes to load imbalances among individual processors of message-passing distributed-multiprocessor systems. Load imbalances increase the overall time to... [10 Jul 2008]
Performance Analysis of Load Balancing Algorithms
White Paper Load balancing is the process of improving the performance of a parallel and distributed system through a redistribution of load among the processors. This paper presents the performance analysis of various load balancing algorithms based on... [10 Jul 2008]
