  Message-passing programming for embedded multicore signal-processing platforms
Hung S., Chiu P., Tu C., Chou W., Yang W. Journal of Signal Processing Systems 75(2): 123-139, 2014.  Type: Article

The present-day tendency to use heterogeneous multicore profiles in digital signal processing applications is addressed in this paper, and the authors propose an optimized architecture to overcome difficulties in software programming, ...

  Linux kernel networking: implementation and theory
Rosen R., Apress, New York, NY, 2013. 648 pp.  Type: Book (978-1-430261-96-4)

This is a great resource for understanding how networking is implemented with the Linux kernel. Linux is widely used in many systems, and it is going to be more important as Android systems rely on Linux, too. A basic knowledge of the ...

  Proxy-assisted routing for efficient data transmission in mobile ad hoc networks
Oo M., Othman M. Wireless Networks 17(8): 1821-1832, 2011.  Type: Article

Adding to the continual quest for a scalable routing approach to deal with continual changing mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs), this paper describes a proxy-assisted routing scheme, called PART, that uses broadcast zones and proxy nodes...

  Idempotence is not a medical condition
Helland P. Communications of the ACM 55(5): 56-65, 2012.  Type: Article

The title of this article is a play on words: idempotence is not impotence. The article sketches what can go wrong with messages used to coordinate work done in a distributed computing environment. Such messages may be broken into piec...

  A scalable MPI_Comm_split algorithm for exascale computing
Sack P., Gropp W.  EuroMPI 2010 (Proceedings of the 17th European MPI Users’ Group Meeting, Stuttgart, Germany, Sep 12-15, 2010) 1-10, 2010.  Type: Proceedings

Message passing interface (MPI) is the de facto standard for message passing programming. MPI supports point-to-point messaging, collective interchanges, and multi-point communication management. One fundamental feature that the multi-...

  Practical and low-overhead masking of failures of TCP-based servers
Zagorodnov D., Marzullo K., Alvisi L., Bressoud T. ACM Transactions on Computer Systems 27(2): 1-39, 2009.  Type: Article

An interesting approach to maintaining transmission control protocol (TCP) connections when a server crashes is described in this paper. TCP is usually implemented in the operating system, and the protocol provides reliable communicati...

  Rethinking FTP: aggressive block reordering for large file transfers
Anastasiadis S., Wickremesinghe R., Chase J. ACM Transactions on Storage 4(4): 1-27, 2009.  Type: Article

In the context of whole-file transfers, Anastasiadis et al. propose block reordering heuristics to maximize throughput by reducing disk traffic. First, already-cached blocks are transferred to all clients concurrently re...

  Virtual machine aware communication libraries for high performance computing
Huang W., Koop M., Gao Q., Panda D.  Supercomputing (Proceedings of the 2007 ACM/IEEE Conference on Supercomputing, Reno, Nevada, Nov 10-16, 2007) 1-12, 2007.  Type: Proceedings

Virtual machines (VMs) strike back! VM technology is a way of sharing a computer between multiple instances of possibly diverse operating systems (OSs) running at the same time. This technology has been around for many years, and confi...

  Recent advances in parallel virtual machine and message passing interface: 14th European PVM/MPI User’s Group Meeting, Paris France, September 30 - October 3, 2007 (Lecture Notes in Computer Science 4757)
Capello F., Herault T., Dongarra J., Springer-Verlag New York, Inc., Secaucus, NJ, 2007. 396 pp.  Type: Book (9783540754152)

Reading a set of proceedings is never an easy task, and this book is no exception. It contains a mixture of abstracts and papers, each varying in length from a dozen lines to a dozen pages. Some of the papers contain black-and-white di...

   A PDA client for the computational grid: research articles
Parkin M., Brooke J. Concurrency and Computation: Practice & Experience 19(9): 1317-1331, 2007.  Type: Article

The development and deployment of computational grid clients has been a challenge, especially for trusted access through small portable devices such as personal digital assistants (PDAs). This experience report should help others tryin...
