چکیده

We detail the design of a scalable infrastructure, called Paradys, developed for parallel circuit simulation. Early measurements of its scalability (some 0.9x of parallel efficiency) are encouraging signs to measure on larger parallel configurations as well as to envision its application for simulation of deep sub-micron technology. This good scalability is, in great part, achieved thanks to a dynamically managed memory gap, called SHMC++, reducing the number of memory accesses in the given shared memory environment. Actual measurements show an increase, due to ShMC++, of the overall speedup of Paradys parallel infrastructure going from 14% to 78% depending on the original memory access rate.

Scalable parallel collision detection simulation

Several simulations for parallel collision detection have been suggested during the last years. The algorithms usually greatly depend on the parallel infrastructure and this dependency causes in many times non-scalability performance. The dependency also harms the portability of the simulation. This paper suggests a scalable and portable parallel algorithm for collision detection simulation tha...

A New Framework for Increasing the Sustainability of Infrastructure Measurement of Smart Grid

Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) is one of the most significant applications of the Smart Grid. It is used to measure, collect, and analyze data on power consumption.  In the AMI network, the smart meters traffics are aggregated in the intermediate aggregators and forwarded to the Meter Data Management System (MDMS). The infrastructure used in this network should be reliable, real-time an...
