Towards a Scheduling Policy For Hybrid Methods on Computational Grids

Pierre Kuonen, Vincent Keller, Tuan Anh Nguyen

In this paper, we propose a cost model for running partic- ular component based applications on a computational Grid. This cost is evaluated by a metascheduler and negotiated with the user by a broker. A specific set of applications is considered: hybrid m ...

Can a Helmholtz solver run on a cluster?

Emmanuel Leriche, Marc Anthony David Habisreutinger, Vincent Keller

Our vectorized Helmholtz solver runs at 85% efficiency on a NEC SX-5. The most time-consuming parts have been ported on SMP, NUMA, and cluster architectures. It is shown that an OpenMP version can deliver similar performance when running it on a 16 process ...
