This chapter provides an overview of the main concepts and representative computer architectures for high-performance embedded computing systems.
Distributed computing (Pande et al., 2002) and specialized computer architectures (Shaw et al., 2007) speed up MD simulation significantly, but the sheer size of data generated is a major hurdle that prevents biological insights.
We comment on the current performance of computational fluid dynamics codes on a variety of scalable computer architectures.
Parallel computing has now become a dominant paradigm in current computer architectures, mainly in the form of multi-core processors [ 8].
Parallel computer architectures and parallel programming have deep roots in high-performance computing.
Notably, the computing time can be reduced by optimizing the program codes and designing special computer architectures for implementing the proposed scheme.
"We believe this is the way all computer architectures will be working in the next century," Mr. Henesey said.
The love among antagonists is also a mark of the industry changes wrought by new computer architectures and old-fashioned industry consolidation.
And this enables and requires a fundamental change in computer architectures.
Many different computer architectures are in widespread commercial use today.
Parallelism is becoming the leading paradigm in today's computer architectures.
