چکیده
The Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) was formed in 1973 to apply advanced science and technology for the benefit of its member utilities and their customers. Funded through voluntary contributions by some 700 member utilities, EPRrs work covers a wide range of technologies related to the generation, delivery, and use of electricity, with special attention paid to cost-effectiveness and environmental concerns. By far the majority of EPRI research is devoted to the development of products and procedures for the immediate use of its members. However, a portion of its effort, managed by the Office of Exploratory and Applied Research, is directed toward exploring new technological ideas, pursuing advanced concepts, and fostering areas of science with potential for breakthroughs. Current and planned investigations include research in several areas of artificial intelligence and parallel processing including adaptive computation and uniquely parallel algorithms.

This dissertation focuses on the processing of packets in network nodes. The demand of packet processing differ in significant ways from other typical processing required by office applications or scientific data crunching. The system throughput requirements lead to the exploitation of parallelism through parallel architectures. Massive multithreaded processors emerge as a good alternative to p...

متن کاملA Programming Model for Massive Data Parallelism with Data Dependencies
Accelerating processors can often be more cost and energy effective for a wide range of data-parallel computing problems than general-purpose processors. For graphics processor units (GPUs), this is particularly the case when program development is aided by environments, such as NVIDIA’s Compute Unified Device Architecture (CUDA), which dramatically reduces the gap between domainspecific archit...
متن کاملSCOPE: easy and efficient parallel processing of massive data sets
Companies providing cloud-scale services have an increasing need to store and analyze massive data sets such as search logs and click streams. For cost and performance reasons, processing is typically done on large clusters of shared-nothing commodity machines. It is imperative to develop a programming model that hides the complexity of the underlying system but provides flexibility by allowing...
