General-Purpose computing on Graphics Processing Units (GPGPU) is becoming popular in
HPC because of its high peak performance. However, in spite of the potential performance …

Real-time applications in today's distributed cyber-physical control systems are often
represented as Precedence-constrained Task Graphs (PTGs) and increasingly implemented …

Particle filters are used in state estimation applications because of their capability to solve
nonlinear and non-Gaussian problems effectively. However, they have high computational …

We present solutions to statically load-balance scatter operations in parallel codes run on
grids. Our load-balancing strategy is based on the modification of the data distributions used …

Parallel computing in heterogeneous environments is drawing considerable attention due to
the growing number of these kind of systems. Adapting existing code and libraries to such …

The Microelectronics and Photonics Testbed (MPTB) carrying twenty-four experiments on-
board a scientific satellite has been in a high radiation orbit since November 1997. This …

Symmetry is a common feature in the real world. It may be used to improve a classification
by using the point symmetry-based distance as a measure of clustering. However, it is time …

Dynamic load balancing in heterogeneous systems is a fundamental research topic in
parallel computing due to the high availability of such systems. The efficient utilization of the …

Task farm parallelism exploitation pattern is used in a wide range of parallel applications.
Due to the independence of the computations relative to the different tasks, efficient methods …

Load imbalance issues have become one of the main challenges in efficient task
scheduling. On-demand computing resources that can be provided by the cloud …
