The parallelism in shared-memory systems has increased significantly with the advent and
evolution of multicore processors. Current systems include several multicore and …

The emergence of multicore processors raises the need to efficiently transfer large amounts
of data between local processes. MPICH2 is a highly portable MPI implementation whose …

Many-core architectures, such as the Intel Xeon Phi, provide dozens of cores and hundreds
of hardware threads. To utilize such architectures, application programmers are increasingly …

A long-term trend in high-performance computing is the increasing number of nodes in
parallel computing platforms, which entails a higher failure probability. Fault tolerant …

This paper describes SMARTMAP, an operating system technique that implements fixed
offset virtual memory addressing. SMARTMAP allows the application processes on a multi …

The two most common parallel execution models for many-core CPUs today are
multiprocess (eg, MPI) and multithread (eg, OpenMP). The multiprocess model allows each …

Thanks to recent advances in virtualization technologies, it is now possible to benefit from
the flexibility brought by virtual machines at little cost in terms of CPU performance. However …

Abstract The Single-chip Cloud Computer (SCC) is an experimental processor created by
Intel Labs. It is a distributed memory architecture that provides shared memory possibilities …

Clusters of Symmetric MultiProcessing (SMP) nodes with multi-core Chip-Multiprocessors
(CMP), also known as SMP-CMP clusters, are becoming ubiquitous today. For Message …

The rising complexity of memory hierarchies and interconnections in parallel shared
memory architectures leads to differences in the communication performance. These …
