Models, algorithms, and tools for highly heterogeneous computing environments

Algorithms and Tools for (Distributed) Heterogeneous Computing: A Prospective Report

HeteroPar'2010: Eighth International Workshop on Algorithms, Models and Tools for Parallel Computing on Heterogeneous Platforms

Networks of computers are now the most common and available parallel architecture. Unlike dedicated parallel computer systems, networks are inherently heterogeneous. They consist of diverse computers of different performance interconnected via heterogeneous network equipment providing communication links with different latencies and bandwidths. Traditional parallel algorithms and tools are aime...

Tools for Heterogeneous Network Computing

Wide area computer networks have become a basic part of today's computing infrastructure. These networks connect a variety of machines, presenting an enormous computing resource. In this project we focus on developing methods and tools which allow a programmer to tap into this resource. In this paper we describe PVM and HeNCE, tools and methodology under development that assists a programmer in...

Distributed Computing in Heterogeneous Environments

Distributed computing systems have received considerable attention in the last decade. Unfortunately, current research efforts are often restricted to homogeneous environments. There seems to be little attention for real-world installations, where heterogeneity is mostly the rule, rather than the exception. The Distributed Academic Computing Network Operating System, DACNOS for short, presents ...

Design and implementation of self-adaptable parallel algorithms for scientific computing on highly heterogeneous HPC platforms

Traditional heterogeneous parallel algorithms, designed for heterogeneous clusters of workstations, are based on the assumption that the absolute speed of the processors does not depend on the size of the computational task. This assumption proved inaccurate for modern and perspective highly heterogeneous HPC platforms. New class of algorithms based on the functional performance model (FPM), re...
