Shared-memory computing applications have never taken particularly well to operating on distributed-memory systems, at least until now. A possible solution has emerged, of interest to NASA and IBM, ...
A new technical paper titled “MegaMmap: Blurring the Boundary Between Memory and Storage for Data-Intensive Workloads” was published by researchers at Illinois Institute of Technology. “In this work, ...
In distributed memory systems, not all cores or processors have the same access to memory; see Figure 4.7. Memory is local to a particular core or processor, with only that processor having direct ...
Complex, computational work with huge sets of data is now common practice in fields such as genomics, economics, and astrophysics. Researchers in these and similarly data intensive fields depend on ...
This is the second in the series on the essentials of multiprocessor programming. This time around we are going to look at some of the normally little considered effects of having memory being shared ...
The very first Superdome Flex shared memory system has gone out the door at Hewlett Packard Enterprise, and it is going to an HPC center that has big memory needs as it tries to understand the ...
