Load Balancing Strategies for Parallel SAMR Algorithms
White Paper Block-structured methods are well-suited for the time-explicit computation of large-scale dynamical problems, but still require parallelization on distributed systems. Highly resolved numerical solutions of partial... [10 Jul 2008]
HP BladeSystem Specification for Microsoft Windows Compute Cluster Server 2003
White Paper CCS is Microsoft's entry into the fast-growing High Performance Computing (HPC) market, where solutions are often deployed as clusters of relatively small servers working in parallel to solve intensive computation and... [08 May 2007]
A Deadline and Budget Constrained Cost-Time Optimisation Algorithm for Scheduling Task Farming Applications on Global Grids
White Paper This paper proposes a new scheduling algorithm, called DBC cost-time optimisation, which extends the DBC cost-optimisation algorithm to optimise for time, keeping the cost of computation at the minimum. [11 Nov 2004]
'Selfish' routers slow the internet
News Their presentation was part of a symposium called "Game Theoretic Aspects of Internet Computation" which explores the application of economic principles to the internet. Eva Tardos and Tim Roughgarden described their... [17 Feb 2003]
Grids go green
News GridCC stands for 'grid-enabled remote instrumentation with distributed control and computation'. We are keen to make sure that the potential end users are involved very early on -- we don't want to just create another... [18 Jan 2005]
Photos: Robots, lasers, action
Photo El-E's power and computation is all on board and runs Ubuntu Linux on a Mac Mini. You know the future has arrived when scientists bring together two staples of science fiction: lasers and robots. But... [10 Apr 2008]
Devil's Advocate: Why business needs IT
Comment Solving mathematical problems, even quite difficult ones, is something for which computation is ideally suited. Science and its practical application through engineering create problems that are... [10 Aug 2004]
Study of Network on Chip Resources Allocation for QoS Management
White Paper Predictability for computation, memory and communication components are needed to build up real-time SoC. To achieve guaranteed throughput and bounded delivery delay, buffers in Network Interfaces (NIs) must be... [18 Jul 2008]
Dynamic Load Balancing and CFD Simulations on the MecaGRID and GRID5000
White Paper Another complication is that for current Clusters and GRIDS in the near future, the user will not know in advance the mixture of fast and slow processors that will be assigned to their computation, thus the user cannot... [10 Jul 2008]
Privacy Preserving Data Mining
White Paper The above problem is a specific example of secure multi-party computation and as such, can be solved using known generic protocols. This paper addresses the issue of privacy preserving data mining. Specifically, the... [19 Sep 2008]
