Parallel Computers: Current Systems and Capabilities*
نویسنده
چکیده
Overview The needs of scientific and engineering grand challenge computations are driving the design of current high performance computing systems. We review the background for this development in section 1, as well as the essential role played by massively parallel computers. We describe the various major classifications of massively parallel systems in section 2 and describe the advantages of each approach. Sections 3-6 survey in detail most of the recent advanced systems, discussing both their hardware and software. We emphasize why certain systems are interesting, as well as their advantages and disadvantages.

Parallel Spatial Pyramid Match Kernel Algorithm for Object Recognition using a Cluster of Computers
This paper parallelizes the spatial pyramid match kernel (SPK) implementation. SPK is one of the most usable kernel methods, along with support vector machine classifier, with high accuracy in object recognition. MATLAB parallel computing toolbox has been used to parallelize SPK. In this implementation, MATLAB Message Passing Interface (MPI) functions and features included in the toolbox help u...
متن کاملComputer security in the future
Until recently, computer security was an obscure discipline that seemed to have little relevance to everyday life. With the rapid growth of the Internet, e-commerce, and the widespread use of computers, computer security touches almost all aspects of daily life and all parts of society. Even those who do not use computers have information about them stored on computers. This paper reviews some ...
متن کاملA Survey of Concurrency Control Algorithms in the Operating Systems
Concurrency control is one of the important problems in operation systems. Various studies have been reported to present different algorithms to address this problem, although a few attempts have been made to represent an overall view of the characteristics of these algorithms and comparison of their capabilities to each other. This paper presents a survey of the current methods for controlling...

متن کاملParallel Clustering and Dimensional Scaling on Multicore Systems
Technology advances suggest that the data deluge, network bandwidth and computers performance will continue their exponential increase. Computers will exhibit 64-128 cores in some 5 years. Consequences include a growing importance of data mining and data analysis capabilities that need to perform well on both parallel and distributed Grid systems. We discuss a class of such algorithms important...
