High-Performance Commodity Computing

In this chapter, we consider the role of commodity off-the-shelf software technologies and components in the construction of computational grids. We take the position that computational grids can and should build on emerging commodity network computing technologies, such as the CORBA, COM, JavaBeans, and less sophisticated Web and networked approaches. These technologies are being used to const...

High-Performance Computing Today

In 1993 for the first time a list of the top 500-supercomputer sites worldwide has been made available. The Top500 list allows a much more detailed and well-founded analysis of the state of high performance computing. This paper summarizes some of the most important observations about HPC as seen through the Top500 statistics. The major trends we document here are the continued dominance of the...

High performance quantum computing

The architecture scalability afforded by recent proposals of a large-scale photonic-based quantum computer allows us to move on to a discussion of massively scaled Quantum Information Processing (QIP). In this paper, we consider the quantum analogue of High Performance Computing (HPC), where a dedicated server farm is utilized by many users to run algorithms and share quantum data. We introduce...
