Commodity variety and seaport performance
Seaports are key locations within value chains and production networks. Port policies of national and local governments seek higher rents through strategies of specialisation or diversification. Elaborating on longstanding research about urban and regional development, this paper proposes an empirical investigation of the interplay between traffic variety and port performance. The analysis of t...
متن کاملCommodity High Performance Computing at Commodity Prices
The entry price of supercomputing has traditionally been very high. As processing elements, operating systems, and switch technology become cheap commodity parts, building a powerful supercomputer at a fraction of the price of a proprietary system becomes realistic. We have recently purchased, in support of both our local and national collaborations, a dedicated computational cluster of eight D...
متن کاملHigh-Performance Commodity Computing
In this chapter, we consider the role of commodity off-the-shelf software technologies and components in the construction of computational grids. We take the position that computational grids can and should build on emerging commodity network computing technologies, such as the CORBA, COM, JavaBeans, and less sophisticated Web and networked approaches. These technologies are being used to const...
متن کاملCommodity, High Performance Interconnects
As communication limitations become the dominant factor in designing products, devices connected by networks will become common. Most companies will not want to design their own interconnection fabric but will, instead, opt to buy an off the shelf interconnect system. Thus, vendors will offer “commodity” interconnects that are easy to integrate into other products and have good performance over...
متن کاملIncreasing Performance in Commodity IP
Clusters built from commodity hardware and software have several advantages over more traditional supercomputers. Commodity clusters are cheap and ubiquitous, and so they are easier to design, program and maintain. However, even as high-speed networks reach 10Gb/s speeds and modern computer architectures reach past 1Ghz, new commodity clusters are not able to harness this power. One of the bott...
