Components of modern parallel systems are becoming quite complex with many features and variations. An integrated modeling of these components (interconnection network, messaging layer, programming model, and computation-communication characteristics of applications) is essential to derive design guidelines for next generation parallel systems. Most of the current simulation-based modeling plat...

We study how fluxes on the domain wall world volume modify quantum fusion of two distant parallel domain walls into a composite wall. The elementary wall fluxes can be separated into parallel and antiparallel components. The parallel component affects neither the binding energy nor the process of quantum merger. The antiparallel fluxes, instead, increase the binding energy and, against naive ex...

—Parallel shared memory (PSM) switch architectures were initially introduced as means of resolving the high memory bandwidth requirements imposed by output-queued switches. At the core of the PSM architecture is a memory management algorithm that determines, for each arriving packet, the memory unit in which it will be placed. Recent work has indicated that in order to achieve high throughput, ...

In this paper a new 5-level single phase symmetrical cascade multi-level inverter is proposed. The proposed topology contains combination of unidirectional and bidirectional power switches based on output voltage level number. The number of power switches and withstanding voltage of powers witches were reduced related to the other topologies. This configuration can be extended to the n-level in...

Parallel and multinode computing systems are becoming widespread and grow in sophistication. Besides simulation, rapid prototyping becomes important in designing and evaluating their architecture. We present an FPGA-based system that we developed and use for prototyping and measuring high speed processor-network interfaces and interconnects; it is an experimental tool for research projects in a...
