The availability of high performance computing (HPC) clouds requires scalability analysis of
parallel programs for multiple different environments in order to maximize the promised …

Extreme scale computing has no implied scaling limit. The impossibility of implementing
reliable communication between crashing hosts prohibits explicit-communication primitives …

Like other engineering disciplines, software engineering should also have principles to
guide the construction of sustainable computer applications. Tangible properties include a) …

In 1994, the OSI (Open System Interconnection)/IEC 7498-1: 1994 Model was published.
The two-sided point-to-pointcommunication TCP/IP protocol became widely accepted as the …

A dependable computing system should not have uncontrolled data losses. This simple
requirement is easy to satisfy at the systems level but seems impossible at the application …

Large scale HPC (high performance computing) applications require thousands of nodes for
computing parallel scientific applications. At this scale, hardware and software failures …

Most mission critical applications are distributed onto multiple computers. They need to
survive extreme conditions. Today, regardless methodologies, all existing mission critical …

Extreme scale HPC (high performance computing) applications require massively many
nodes. At these scales, transient hardware and software failures, as well as network …

For the last three decades, end-to-end computing has been the de facto paradigm for
distributed and parallel computing. MPI (Message Passing Interface), RPC (Remote …

Data intensive parallel applications are harder to protect against transient software and
hardware failures compared to traditional parallel applications. Due to the need for …
