SPAX: A New Parallel Processing System for Commercial Application
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, a new parallel processing system for commercial applications, so called SPAX, is described. SPAX cost-effectively overcomes the SMP limitation by providing scalability of the parallel processing system and application portability of the SMP. We also describe a new system network, so called XcentNet, which interconnects hundreds of multiprocessor PC boards in SPAX. It is a hierarchical network that provides incremental scalability with minimum re-wiring when the user’s requirement is changed. This is based on the low latency crossbar routers, which build up a router-cloud and provide up to 2.67 Gbytes/sec/router-cloud of bandwidth. We briefly describe the preliminary evaluation result that shows Xcent-Net shall not be the bottleneck in the system running a typical commercial application.

Parleda: a Library for Parallel Processing in Computational Geometry Applications
ParLeda is a software library that provides the basic primitives needed for parallel implementation of computational geometry applications. It can also be used in implementing a parallel application that uses geometric data structures. The parallel model that we use is based on a new heterogeneous parallel model named HBSP, which is based on BSP and is introduced here. ParLeda uses two main lib...
متن کاملEvaluation of scheduling solutions in parallel processing using DEA FDH model
This paper gives a new application of DEA to evaluate the scheduling solutions of parallel processing. It evaluates the scheduling solutions of parallel processing using the non-convex DEA model, FDH model. By introducing each solution of parallel processing scheduling as a DMU with some relevant inputs and outputs this paper shows that how the most efficient schedule(s) can be identified.
