Supercomputing Application Access Characteristics
Author: Swee Boon Lim
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Computer networks
Languages : en
Pages : 70
Book Description
Examining the data, we propose an optimization technique which we call run-length optimization. This optimization improves the performance of the applications by maximizing the amount of data transferred per I/O request and reducing the total of [sic] number of I/O requests. This technique is application dependent since knowledge of the individual application is required to exploit its potential."

The Rise and Fall of American Growth
Author: Robert J. Gordon
Publisher: Princeton University Press
ISBN: 0691175802
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 784
Book Description
How America's high standard of living came to be and why future growth is under threat In the century after the Civil War, an economic revolution improved the American standard of living in ways previously unimaginable. Electric lighting, indoor plumbing, motor vehicles, air travel, and television transformed households and workplaces. But has that era of unprecedented growth come to an end? Weaving together a vivid narrative, historical anecdotes, and economic analysis, The Rise and Fall of American Growth challenges the view that economic growth will continue unabated, and demonstrates that the life-altering scale of innovations between 1870 and 1970 cannot be repeated. Gordon contends that the nation's productivity growth will be further held back by the headwinds of rising inequality, stagnating education, an aging population, and the rising debt of college students and the federal government, and that we must find new solutions. A critical voice in the most pressing debates of our time, The Rise and Fall of American Growth is at once a tribute to a century of radical change and a harbinger of tougher times to come.

Frontiers of Supercomputing II
Author: Karyn R. Ames
Publisher: Univ of California Press
ISBN: 0520336038
Category : Computers
Languages : en
Pages : 640
Book Description
This uniquely comprehensive book brings together the vast amount of technical, economic, and political information and the analyses of supercomputing that have hitherto been buried in the frequently inaccessible "gray literature." Seventy-nine distinguished participants in the second Frontiers of Supercomputing conference offer perceptive and often controversial views on the emerging computing environment in the United States. This title is part of UC Press's Voices Revived program, which commemorates University of California Press’s mission to seek out and cultivate the brightest minds and give them voice, reach, and impact. Drawing on a backlist dating to 1893, Voices Revived makes high-quality, peer-reviewed scholarship accessible once again using print-on-demand technology. This title was originally published in 1994.

Parallel I/O for High Performance Computing
Author: John M. May
Publisher: Morgan Kaufmann
ISBN: 9781558606647
Category : Computers
Languages : en
Pages : 392
Book Description
"I enjoyed reading this book immensely. The author was uncommonly careful in his explanations. I'd recommend this book to anyone writing scientific application codes." -Peter S. Pacheco, University of San Francisco "This text provides a useful overview of an area that is currently not addressed in any book. The presentation of parallel I/O issues across all levels of abstraction is this book's greatest strength." -Alan Sussman, University of Maryland Scientific and technical programmers can no longer afford to treat I/O as an afterthought. The speed, memory size, and disk capacity of parallel computers continue to grow rapidly, but the rate at which disk drives can read and write data is improving far less quickly. As a result, the performance of carefully tuned parallel programs can slow dramatically when they read or write files-and the problem is likely to get far worse. Parallel input and output techniques can help solve this problem by creating multiple data paths between memory and disks. However, simply adding disk drives to an I/O system without considering the overall software design will not significantly improve performance. To reap the full benefits of a parallel I/O system, application programmers must understand how parallel I/O systems work and where the performance pitfalls lie. Parallel I/O for High Performance Computing directly addresses this critical need by examining parallel I/O from the bottom up. This important new book is recommended to anyone writing scientific application codes as the best single source on I/O techniques and to computer scientists as a solid up-to-date introduction to parallel I/O research. Features: An overview of key I/O issues at all levels of abstraction-including hardware, through the OS and file systems, up to very high-level scientific libraries. Describes the important features of MPI-IO, netCDF, and HDF-5 and presents numerous examples illustrating how to use each of these I/O interfaces. Addresses the basic question of how to read and write data efficiently in HPC applications. An explanation of various layers of storage - and techniques for using disks (and sometimes tapes) effectively in HPC applications.
