Characterizing Shared-Memory Applications: A Case Study of the NAS Parallel Benchmarks

Overview The objective of this report is to present our characterization of a shared-memory implementation of the NAS Parallel Benchmarks (NPB). This characterization is needed to support the design decisions of future shared-memory multiprocessors. This report presents two sets of characterization data; the first set is the application characteristics that do not change from one hardware configuration to another, and the second set is the traffic characteristics of the application when run on a possible future hardware configuration. The data presented in this report include characterizations of NPB communication, sharing and cache behavior.

How to get an £80,000 NEC supercomputer for free

NEC's vector processors lack a cache memory found in PC processors, but make up for it in memory bandwidth - which, at 32 gigabytes per second, is an order of magnitude higher than most desktop processors.

Athlon: The beginning of the end

The chip holds about a 15 per cent performance advantage over Intel's 3GHz Pentium 4 processor when the Pentium 4 is connected to a 533MHz bus, according to AMD benchmarks. Over the years, AMD has tweaked the overall architecture by increasing the...

Intel confirms Otellini as new head

For one, he made the decision to cancel Intel's delayed 4GHz Pentium 4 and instead to bring out Pentium 4s with more performance-enhancing cache memory in early 2005. As CEO, Otellini is also likely to turn his attention to getting back on track...

Live Webcast: Telecoms 2.0 - Where is telecoms heading?

In this webcast, our panel of experts will review where we are with next generation telecoms in the UK, working through the concept of 'Telecoms 2.0': - Realising the potential of Next Generation Networks - why it isn't just about the technology? - What attributes should firms be looking for in their telco partner? - Is the relationship between telco provider and customer changing? - What things need to happen to make next generation services a reality? - You say you want the supplier to change. Do you want to change too? - What is Telecoms 2.0?

Telecom 2.0: Mind over matter

ntl:Telewest Business believes that the role of the telco is evolving. Gone are the days when it was enough to simply focus on circuits and minutes, customers now need a far higher degree of interaction and look for suppliers who will talk business solutions with them.
