Magnifying computing gaps

Bridging the Gaps between Many-task Computing and Supercomputers

Many Task Computing, an emerging programming paradigm on supercomputers, embraces many applications in such domains as biology, economics, and statistics, as well as data intensive computations and uncertainty quantification. Its high inter-task parallelism and intense data processing features place new challenges on the existing hardware-software stack on supercomputers. Those new challenges i...

Turbulence under a Magnifying Glass

where the vector v(t, x) describes the velocity of the fluid at time t and space point x, positive constant ν is the viscosity, ρ is the constant density, f(t, x) is the (intensive) force and p(t, x) is the pressure. The above equations date back to the works of Navier (1823) and Stokes (1843) and modify the even older Euler equation (1755) by the addition of the dissipative term ν∆v . In most ...

ANDRUBIS: Android Malware Under The Magnifying Glass

The smartphone industry has been one of the fastest growing technological areas in recent years. Naturally, the considerable market share of the Android OS and the diversity of app distribution channels besides the official Google Play Store has attracted the attention of malware authors. To deal with the increasing numbers of malicious Android apps in the wild, malware analysts typically rely ...
