. We present an environment for configuring and co-ordinating coarse grained parallel applications on workstation clusters. The environment named CoPA is based on PVM and allows an automatic distribution of functional modules as they occur in typical CAE-applications. By implementing link

with Application-specific Functional Units (AFUs). Customisation has been proved beneficial on single issue machines, but its effect on multiple issue machines remains unanswered. Is a VLIW machine powerful enough to nullify the benefit of customisation? Or are the two benefits orthogonal and can be exploited

invalidate, and a new protocol called lazy hybrid. This lazy hybrid protocol combines the benefits of both lazy update and lazy invalidate. Our simulations indicate that with the processors and networks that are becoming available, coarse-grained applications such as Jacobi and TSP perform well, more or less

We consider two basic types of coarse-graining: the Ehrenfest’s coarse-graining and its extension to a general principle of non-equilibrium thermodynamics, and the coarse-graining based on uncertainty of dynamical models and ε-motions (orbits). Non-technical discussion of basic notions and main

Abstract. We consider the application of fluctuation relations to the dynamics of coarse-grained systems, as might arise in a hypothetical experiment in which a system is monitored with a low-resolution measuring apparatus. We analyze a stochastic, Markovian jump process with a specific structure

, and making these large-scale simulations tractable by minimizing required computational resources. As an alternative to packet-level simulation, we evaluate the applicability of coarse-grain transfer-level simulation to wide-area networked applications and services, and discuss the tradeoffs inherent

Coarse-grained fabrics are comprised of multi-bit configurable logic blocks and configurable interconnect. This work is focused on area and energy optimization techniques for coarse-grained reconfigurable fabric architectures. In this work, a variety of design techniques have been explored

change the design problem. The migration from completely generic lookup tables and highly connected routing fabrics to specialized coarse-grain functional units and very structured communication resources presents designers with the problem of how to best customize the system based upon anticipated usage

We present a method for verifying real-time constraints in a distributed, coarse-grain dataflow environment starting with a program which has already been allocated onto a machine. The user specifies the timing of each module together with real-time constraints; and we verify the constraints
