- Asymmetric Scheduling and Load Balancing for Real-Time on Linux SMP
- The ARTiS system, a real-time extension of the GNU/Linux scheduler dedicated to SMP (Symmetric Multi-Processors) systems is proposed. ARTiS exploits the SMP architecture to guarantee the pre-emption of a processor when the system has to schedule a real-time task. Furthermore, specific load-balancing strategies allows ARTiS to benefit from the full...

- Extending OpenMP to Clusters
- OpenMP is a well-known parallel programming paradigm for shared-memory multiprocessors. In the past, OpenMP has been confined to Symmetric Multi-Processing SMP machines and teamed with Message Passing Interface MPI technology to make use of multiple SMP systems. A new system, Cluster OpenMP, is an implementation of OpenMP that can make...
