3D integration technology can provide significant benefits of reduced interconnection delay and low power consumption in designing multi-core processors. However, the 3D integration technology magnifies the thermal challenges in multi-core processors due to high power density caused by stacking multiple layers vertically. For this reason, the 3D multi-core architecture cannot be practical witho...

Discrete event simulation constitutes a fundamental methodology in the design, development, and evaluation process of communication systems. Despite their abstract nature, simulation models often exhibit considerable computational complexity, resulting in extensive simulation runtimes. To counteract the runtime demand of complex simulation models, parallel discrete event simulation distributes ...

In this paper, we review the literature on efficient task scheduling on multi-core system. The number of cores on one chip are increasing very rapidly. For achieving high performance without more power consumption and without heating up the system, multi-core processing technology is used. In addition for fully utilization of system resources in more efficient way task scheduler are developed, ...

GPGPU has received lot of attention in the past few years mainly because of the performance gain GPUs offer at a low price. Recently, researchers have identified hybrid multi-core computing as a better solution compared to accelerator based computing for several problems. In this paper, we evaluate two regular problems in image processing, bilateral filtering and convolution, on a hybrid multi-...

Long-term hydrographic temperature and salinity transect data in the East China Sea from June 1955 to November 2001 are analyzed in order to examine the geostrophic velocity and the structure of the Kuroshio current. The structure of the Kuroshio Current is divided into three basic forms, a single-core structure, a double-core structure and a multi-core structure; the appearance percentage of t...

Recently the major performance chip manufacturers have turned to multi-core technology as a more cost effective alternative to ever increasing clock speeds. Well known examples of multi-core architectures include the Intel Core Duo and AMD Athlon 64 X2 range of chips. IBM have introduced the Cell Broadband Engine (Cell) as their next generation CPU to feed the insatiable appetite modern multime...

Geospatial Processing, such as queries based on point-to-polyline shortest distance and point-in-polygon test, are fundamental to many scientific and engineering applications, including post-processing large-scale environmental and climate model outputs and analyzing traffic and travel patterns from massive GPS collections in transportation engineering and urban studies. Commodity parallel hard...

Most complex information systems are event-driven: each part of the system reacts to the events happening in the other parts, potentially generating new events. Complex Event Processing (CEP) engines in charge of interpreting, filtering, and combining primitive events to identify higher level composite events according to a set of rules, are the new breed of Message Oriented Middleware, which i...

Most of the new embedded systems require high performance processors at low power. To cater to these needs, most semiconductor companies are designing multi-core processors, also known as chip-multiprocessors, while some are developing multi-chip boards with existing multi-core processors. Developing applications on these powerful architectures require specialized tools to obtain the optimum pe...
