[Abstract] Windows and Unix systems have been traditionally very different with regard to configuration storage and management. In this paper we have adapted our CIM-based model-driven management framework, AdCIM, to ...

[Abstract] Wireless mesh networks (WMNs) are a category of wireless networks that are self-organized, robust and which offer more flexible client coverage with less equipment requirements than wired networks. In WMNs, mesh ...

[Abstract] Understanding program behavior is at the foundation of program optimization. Techniques for automatic recognition of program constructs (from now on, computational kernels) characterize the behavior of program ...

[Abstract] We present 3LM, a C Linked List Management Library for parallel sparse factorizations on a PVM environment which takes into account the fill-in, an important drawback of sparse computations. It is restricted to ...

[Abstract] There is a class of sparse matrix computations, such as direct solvers of systems of linear equations, that change the fill-in (nonzero entries) of the coefficient matrix, and involve row and column operations ...

[Abstract] The performance of the communication primitives of parallel computers is critical for the overall system performance. The characterization of the communication overhead is very important to estimate the global ...

[Abstract] The radiosity computation has the important feature of producing view independent results, but these results are mesh dependent and, in consequence, are attached to a specific level of detail in the input mesh. ...

[Abstract] A loop with irregular assignment computations contains loop-carried output data dependences that can only be detected at run-time. In this paper, a load-balanced method based on the inspector-executor model is ...

[Abstract] Summary form only given. The automatic parallelization of loops that contain complex computations is still a challenge for current parallelizing compilers. The main limitations are related to the analysis of ...

[Abstract] Global optimization problems arise in many areas of science and engineering, computational and systems biology and bioinformatics among them. Many research efforts have focused on developing parallel metaheuristics ...
