The most exciting development in parallel computer architecture is the convergence of
traditionally disparate approaches on a common machine structure. This book explains the …

In two editions spanning more than a decade, The Electrical Engineering Handbook stands
as the definitive reference to the multidisciplinary field of electrical engineering. Our …

Scalability has become an important consideration in parallel algorithm and machine
designs. The word scalable, or scalability, has been widely and often used in the parallel …

In this paper we analyze the scalability of a number of load balancing algorithms which can
be applied to problems that have the following characteristics: the work done by a processor …

In this paper three models of parallel speedup are studied. They are fixed-size speedup,
fixed-time speedup, and memory-bounded speedup. The latter two consider the relationship …

This paper describes a number of optimizations that can be used to support the efficient
execution of irregular problems on distributed memory parallel machines. These primitives …

Cloud computing not only changes today's computing infrastructure, but also alters the way
of obtaining computing resources, managing and delivering software and services …

Mining frequent itemsets in a datastream proves to be a difficult problem, as itemsets arrive
in rapid succession and storing parts of the stream is typically impossible. Nonetheless, it …

The term scalability appears frequently in computing literature, but it is a term that is poorly
defined and poorly understood. The lack of a clear, consistent and systematic treatment of …

This paper uses the isoefficiency metric to analyze the scalability of several parallel
algorithms for finding shortest paths between all pairs of nodes in a densely connected …
