Thinking Machines' CM-5 machine is a distributed-memory, message-passing computer. In this paper we devise a performance benchmark for the base and vector units and the data communication networks of the CM-5 machine. We model the communication characteristics such as communication latency and bandwidths of point-to-point and global communication primitives. We show, on a simple Gaussian elimin...

BACKGROUND Computer Networks have a tendency to grow at an unprecedented scale. Modern networks involve not only computers but also a wide variety of other interconnected devices ranging from mobile phones to other household items fitted with sensors. This vision of the "Internet of Things" (IoT) implies an inherent difficulty in modeling problems. PURPOSE It is practically impossible to impl...

Recent research has shown that scalable, high-performance graphics systems may be built from commodity graphics hardware running on clusters. The rendered images are then displayed on nodes directly connected to the local system area network. However, many application scenarios require remote display across low speed networks. In this paper we describe a remote, image-based, display system for ...

As a new-style computer-mediated communication system, the blog has been gaining popularity among various Web users. Blog communities come into being in the process of self-organized communication between bloggers and the community structures are reflected by the embedded social networks. This study research the communication patterns of scientist bloggers with the data from the largest Chinese...

Interconnection networks play a crucial role in the performance of massively parallel computers. Hierarchical interconnection networks provide high performance at low cost by exploring the locality that exists in the communication patterns of massively parallel computers. A Tori connected Torus Network (TTN) is a 2D-torus network of multiple basic modules, in which the basic modules are 2D-toru...

Computer-mediated communication between humans is becoming ubiquitous. Computers are increasingly connected via high-speed local and widearea networks, and via wireless technologies. High bandwidth interaction is increasing communication speed, offering the possibility for transmission of images, voice, sound, video and formatted data as well as text. Computer technologies are creating the poss...

Covert channels are used for the secret transfer of information. Encryption only protects communication from being decoded by unauthorised parties, whereas covert channels aim to hide the very existence of the communication. Initially, covert channels were identified as a security threat on monolithic systems i.e. mainframes. More recently focus has shifted towards covert channels in computer n...
