While standard processors achieve supercomputer performance, a performance gap exists between the interconnect of MPP's and COTS. Standard solutions like Ethernet can not keep up with the demand for high speed communication of todays powerful CPU's. ...

The Simultaneous Optical Multiprocessor Exchange Bus (SOME-Bus) is a low-latency, high-bandwidth interconnection network which directly links arbitrary pairs of processor nodes without contention, and can efficiently interconnect over one hundred nodes. ...

The newly in troduced Microprocessor Arc hitecture for Java Computing (MAJC) supports parallelism in a hierarchy of levels: multiprocessors on chip, vertical micro threading, instruction level parallelism via a very long instruction word architecture (...

Resource management for dynamic, distributed real-time systems requires handling of unknown arrival rates for data and events; additional desiderata include: accommodation of heterogeneous resources, high resource utilization, and guarantees of real-...

The highly distributed computing plants planned for deployment aboard modern naval ships will serve real-time, mission-critical applications. The high-availability requirements of the distributed applications targeted for these platforms require ...

Performance modeling is important for implementing efficient parallel applications and runtime systems. The LogP model captures the relevant aspects of message passing in distributed-memory architectures. In this paper we describe an efficient method ...
