This thesis is an introduction to the portability issues of the Linux kernel. It is not only meant
to be my Masters thesis, I hope it will actually be useful for people who want to port Linux to …

Gang scheduling and related techniques are widely believed to be necessary for efficient
job scheduling on distributed memory parallel computers. This is because they minimize …

We report the implementation of a scheduling method which combines time sharing and
space sharing on AP/Linux. To run many tasks simultaneously on a parallel computer, the …

The subject of this thesis is scalability and persistence. A convergence of computing and
communications technologies has lead to the 'information explosion'. Demand for …

Software overheads can be a significant cause of performance degradation in parallel
numerical libraries. This paper examines the nature and extent of software overheads in an …
