On The Use of Network DRAM in LAPACK Programs
نویسندگان
چکیده
Network DRAM is the idea of using RAM on another workstation instead of local disk as a backing store for virtual memory. Network RAM generally has a lower access time than disk but has inferior fault tolerance. In this paper, we examine the benefit of network RAM when running some of the most popular LAPACK programs. We found that network RAM does not help these LAPACK programs as much as one might expect because of the nature of the algorithms used and the types of problems solved using these programs.

Influence of Sahour meal on exercise performance and physiological responses in well-trained Muslim runners during Ramadan
Introduction: The objective of this study was to examine the influence of sahour meal on exercise performance, and physiological responses to a 10Km Time-Trial (10KTT) at two different times of the day during Ramadan. Method: Three well-trained Muslim runners participated (age, 25±0.8years; maximal oxygen uptake, 54.87±3.45 ml.kg-1.min-1; body weight, 52.4±1.99 kg; height, 162.7±3.55 cm). Subj...

This paper shows how to run multithreaded programs on a DRAM (Distributed Random Access Memory) parallel computer and demonstrates that such programs can run efficiently on a collection of machines distributed across thousands of miles over the internet. Suppose we have a fully strict multithreaded program has work and critical-path length , and we have a processor DRAM machine with an upper bo...

متن کاملA Novel Method for Implementing of Time-of-use to Improve the Performance of Electric Distribution Systems: A Case Study
Increased electric energy consumption in recent years, associated economic problems, reduced reliability and increased power losses in electric networks. One of the main solutions in smart grids to overcome the mentioned problems is demand response programs. In demand response programs, operators apply time-varying tariffs to consumers, and convince them to change their consumption pattern. Amo...
