A Comparative Performance Study for Compute Node Sharing

Compute Node Compute Node

Many scientiic applications that run on today's multiprocessors, such as weather forecasting and seismic analysis, are bottlenecked by their le-I/O needs. Even if the multiprocessor is conngured with suucient I/O hardware, the le-systemsoftware often fails to provide the available bandwidth to the application. Although libraries and enhanced le-system interfaces can make a signiicant improvemen...

Improving compute node performance using virtualization

Modified variants of Linux are likely to be the underlying operating systems (OSs) for future exascale platforms. Despite the many advantages of this approach, a subset of applications exist in which a lightweight kernel (LWK)-based OS is needed and/or preferred. We contend that virtualization is capable of supporting LWKs as virtual machines (VMs) running at scale on top of a Linux environment...

The need for skin pen marking for sentinel lymph node biopsy: A comparative study

  Introduction: There is a consensus in the literature that sentinel lymph node biopsy is the standard procedure for axillary staging in early stage (I and II) breast cancer patients. Usually during lymphoscintigraphy, the location of the sentinel lymph node is marked on the skin by an indelible ink. In this study we evaluated this issue in our patients. Methods: 40 ...

A FPGA-based compute node for the PANDA

The new proton antiproton annihilation experiment at Darmstadt, PANDA, foresees to run with a frequency of up to 10 interactions per second and will deliver an expected data rate of several tens of gigabytes per second. In this scenario, real time processing, for intelligent data compression and event selection, is mandatory. A general purpose compute node based on eld programmable gate arrays ...
