The main intention of this book is to give an impression of the state-of-the-art in system-level
memory management (data transfer and storage) related issues for complex data-dominated …

Distributed enterprise applications today are increasingly being built from services available
over the web. A unit of functionality in this framework is a web service, a software application …

Data Access and Storage Management for Embedded Programmable Processors gives an
overview of the state-of-the-art in system-level data access and storage management for …

The ability to harness heterogeneous, dynamically available grid resources is attractive to
typically resource-starved computational scientists and engineers, as in principle it can …

Distributed Memory Multicomputers (DMMs), such as the IBM SP-2, the Intel Paragon, and
the Thinking Machines CM-5, offer significant advantages over shared memory …

Today's commodity disk drives, the basic unit of storage for computer systems large and
small, are actually small computers, with a processor, memory, and 'network'connection …

We present an overview of eSkel, a library for skeletal parallel programming. eSkel aims to
maximise the conceptual flexibility afforded by its component skeletons and to facilitate …

This paper addressesoptimal mapping of parallel programs composed of a chain of data
parallel tasks onto the processors of a parallel system. The input to this class of programs is …

Appropriate data distribution has been found to be critical for obtaining good performance
on Distributed Memory Multicomputers like the CM-5, Intel Paragon and IBM SP-1. It has …

Abstract High Performance Fortran (HPF) has emerged as a standard dialect of Fortran for
data parallel computing. However, for a wide variety of applications, both task and data …
