This survey aims to present the state of the art in analytic communication performance
models, providing sufficiently detailed descriptions of particularly noteworthy efforts …

In this paper we propose a new simulation platform called SIMCAN, for analyzing parallel
and distributed systems. This platform is aimed to test parallel and distributed architectures …

Achieving optimal performance of MPI applications on current multi-core architectures,
composed of multiple shared communication channels and deep memory hierarchies, is not …

Emerging large-scale systems have many nodes with several processors per node and
multiple cores per processor. These systems require effective task distribution between …

Caching of frequently accessed data items can reduce the bandwidth requirement in a
mobile wireless computing environment. Periodically broadcast of invalidation reports is an …

As the number of nodes in high performance computing (HPC) systems increases, collective
I/O becomes an important issue and I/O aggregators are the key factors in improving the …

As InfiniBand (IB) clusters grow in size and scale, predicting the behavior of the IB network in
terms of link usage and performance becomes an increasingly challenging task. There …

In decades past, developing countries undertook significant power sector reforms with the
intention to promote private investment, expand access, increase competition, and promote …

As InfiniBand (IB) clusters grow in size and scale, predicting the behavior of the IB network in
