Seminar: Load Modeling of parallel and multithreaded Applications

Description

Current computer architectures from multicore CPUs to supercomputers support parallel and multithreaded programs to provide application performance. These parallel programs imply new challenges for resource management as these programs rely on communication as well as on computation. The seminar deals with ongoing research in the field of modelling computational and communication-based load produced by parallel programs.
