Exploiting Non-blocking Remote Memory Access Communication in Scientific Benchmarks

This paper describes a comparative performance study of MPI and Remote Memory Access (RMA) communication models in context of four scientific benchmarks: NAS MG, NAS CG, SUMMA matrix multiplication, and Lennard Jones molecular dynamics on clusters with the Myrinet network. It is shown that RMA communication delivers a consistent performance advantage over MPI. In some cases an improvement as mu...

Syntactic Properties of Language of Scientific Communication in Persian Scientific Works

Purpose: The language of science is one of the social types of Persian language, which is used by the educated classes in scientific works and contexts. The purpose of this research is to present an overall picture of the syntactic properties of the Persian scientific language. The types of sentences, types of tenses, verb tenses, and syntactic constructions have been identified in the scientif...

Scientific Utopia: I. Opening scientific communication

Existing norms for scientific communication are rooted in anachronistic practices of bygone eras, making them needlessly inefficient. We outline a path that moves away from the existing model of scientific communication to improve the efficiency in meeting the purpose of public science – knowledge accumulation. We call for six changes: (1) full embrace of digital communication, (2) open access ...

Rescaling scientific communication

Like the revolution in scientific communication that took place in the nineteenth century, today’s information revolution is driven by new technology and a sharp decrease in the costs of the distribution of scientific knowledge. Digital media and networked communications, the analogues of cheap printing and better transport infrastructure in the nineteenth century, have unleashed tremendous pot...
