Fitting Architecture to Application: Choosing between SMP and RACE - Multicomputer Technology Brief
ثبت نشده
چکیده
During the past decade, there has been a dramatic increase in the number of applications within the commercial and military market requiring very high input/output (I/O) bandwidth and real-time processing power. These applications have been creating an insatiable demand for increasingly higher performance commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) computer systems that can be easily configured to closely match application needs.

WildFire: A Scalable Path for SMPs
Researchers have searched for scalable alternatives to the symmetric multiprocessor (SMP) architecture since it was first introduced in 1982. This paper introduces an alternative view of the relationship between scalable technologies and SMPs. Instead of replacing large SMPs with scalable technology, we propose new scalable techniques that allow large SMPs to be tied together efficiently, while...
متن کاملNon - Uniform Partitioning of Finite Di erence Methods Running on SMP Clusters
A multicomputer or workstation cluster with multiprocessor nodes introduces signiicant need and opportunity for overlapping communication with computation. We evaluate partitioning strategies for an important application class, nite diierence methods, running on clusters of symmetric multiprocessors. Our results show that even for a regular, uniform nite diierence method, a non-uniform partitio...
متن کاملArchitects and Engineers Differences: A comparison between problem solving performances of architects and engineers in the ideation phase of an analogy-based design
This study examines how analogy affects problem-solving in ideation phase of design among architects and engineers. For this purpose, a design problem was given to master and Ph.D. students of engineering and architecture. They were given two optional analogy sources to choose and be inspired by one. From the analysis of design sessions, using different coding groups and the application of the ...
متن کاملCost Models for Partitioning Parallel Computationsin Two Tiered ArchitecturesCsaba
The requirements to reduce the price/performance ratio and to provide scalability force multicomputer vendors to market a new type of multicomputer system , built with commodity components. The processors are grouped into hypernodes (or subsystems), which are connected through scalable high-speed interconnects. The system concept is somewhat hybrid: within a hypernode the machine is eeectively ...
متن کاملPhysicochemical and Rheological Properties and Microstructure of Canola oil as Affected by Monoacylglycerols
Background and Objectives: Canola oil is very low in saturated fatty acid (~8 %), which makes it suitable for application as dressing for salad. Canola oil is liquid, thus its application in the production of margarine and shortening is limited. The present study provides information about the effects of monoacylglycerols (MAG) as the structuring agent on physical, microstructure and rheologica...
