A Cluster of Workstations (COW) is network based multi-computer system, which is the most prominent distributed memory system aimed to replace supercomputers. A cluster of workstations can be viewed as a single machine in which one job is divided into n subtasks and delegated to n workstations in the COW architecture. To get the job completed, all subtasks assigned to component workstations mus...

In this work we present a subdomain partitioning strategy applied to an explicit high-resolution Euler solver. We describe the design of a parallel multi-domain code suitable for distributed memory multi-processors. We present several implementations on a distributed virtual shared memory computer as well as on a network of workstations. We give computational results to illustrate the eeciency ...

257 words; 300 max.) Background: Desk-based office employees sit for most of their working day. To address excessive sitting as a newly-identified health risk, best practice frameworks suggest a multicomponent approach. However, these approaches are resource intensive and knowledge about their impact is limited. Purpose: To compare the efficacy of a multi-component intervention to reduce workpl...

The goal of this report is to survey a number of leading RISC processors which are deployed in oo the shelf scientiic workstations, and in some cases massively parallel multi-computers.

By the integration of high speed computer networks and interactive multi-media workstations, the IRI (Interactive Remote Instruction) System creates a geographically dispersed virtual classroom. Each student participates using a personal workstation which can be used to view multi-media class presentations, to make presentations, to take notes in a multi-media notebook, and to interact via audi...

This paper describes the project undertaken by DSO National Laboratories to demonstrate convoy movement involving a manned vehicle and two Unmanned Ground Vehicles (UGVs) along roads and dirt tracks at speeds up to 35 km/h and 20 km/h respectively. The project work included development of UGV hardware, vehicle controller, sensor suite comprising of short and long range sensors, and high speed n...

The availability of high capacity, low latency interconnects enable clusters of workstations to form powerful multicomputers with good computing and memory capabilities. To achieve high performance with modern cache hierarchies, software must be written with the architecture in mind, e.g. reducing data movement for the data intensive application increase performance. Data movement becomes even ...
