High Performance Distributed Computing

2004 Proceedings. 13th IEEE International Symposium on High performance Distributed Computing, 2004.  
High Performance Distributed Computing (HPDC) is driven by t h e rapid advance of two related technologies|those underlying computing and communications, respectively. These technology pushes are linked to application pulls, which v ary from the use of a cluster of some 20 workstations simulating uid ow around an aircraft, to the complex linkage of several hundred million advanced PCs around the globe to deliver and receive m ultimedia information. The review of base technologies and exemplar
