An analytical model to evaluate the performance of cluster architectures

چکیده
This paper presents a rather simple method to model cluster architectures using Stochastic Automata Networks (SAN) formalism. Although, the modeling power of SAN, the presented models are quite simple and do not fully describe the complexity of existing clusters. It is not the purpose of this paper to proposed ready-to-evaluate models to real clusters, but just introduce the formalism to the parallel architectures community. The conclusion of this paper discusses the further steps in order to perform a real case evaluation.

مدل عملکردی تحلیلی FPGA برای پردازش با قابلیت پیکربندی مجدد
Optimizing FPGA architectures is one of the key challenges in digital design flow. Traditionally, FPGA designers make use of CAD tools for evaluating architectures in terms of the area, delay and power. Recently, analytical methods have been proposed to optimize the architectures faster and easier. A complete analytical power, area and delay model have received little attention to date. In addi...
متن کاملReliability and Performance Evaluation of Fault-aware Routing Methods for Network-on-Chip Architectures (RESEARCH NOTE)
Nowadays, faults and failures are increasing especially in complex systems such as Network-on-Chip (NoC) based Systems-on-a-Chip due to the increasing susceptibility and decreasing feature sizes. On the other hand, fault-tolerant routing algorithms have an evident effect on tolerating permanent faults and improving the reliability of a Network-on-Chip based system. This paper presents reliabili...
متن کاملA Performance Evaluation of Cluster-based Architectures
This paper investigates the performance of shared-memory cluster-based architectures where each cluster is a shared-bus multiprocessor augmented with a protocol processor maintaining cache coherence across clusters. For a given number of processors, sixteen in this study, we evaluate the performance of various cluster con gurations. We also consider the impact of adding a remote shared cache in...
متن کاملModeling and Performance Evaluation of Energy Consumption in S-MAC Protocol Using Generalized Stochastic Petri Nets
One of the features of wireless sensor networks is that the nodes in this network have limited power sources. Therefore, assessment of energy consumption in these networks is very important. What has been common practice has been the use of traditional simulators to evaluate the energy consumption of the nodes in these networks. Simulators often have problems such as fluctuating output values i...
متن کاملPerformance Modeling of the Grace Hash Join on Cluster Architectures
Aim of the paper is to develop a concise but comprehensive analytical model for the well-known Grace Hash Join algorithm on cost effective cluster architectures. This approach is part of an ongoing project to develop algorithms for the design of quasi-optimal query execution plans for parallel database systems. We try to concentrate on a limited number of characteristic parameters to keep the a...
