A ubiquitous computing environment consists of many resources that need to be identified by users and applications. Users and developers require some way to identify resources by human readable names. In addition, ubiquitous computing environments impose additional requirements such as the ability to work well with ad hoc situations and the provision of names that depend on context. The Non-anchored Unified Naming (NUN) system was designed to satisfy these requirements. It is based on relative naming among resources and provides the ability to name arbitrary types of resources. By having resources themselves take part in naming, resources are able to able contribute their specialized knowledge into the name resolution process, making context-dependent mapping of names to resources possible. The ease of which new resource types can be added makes it simple to incorporate new types of contextual information within names. In this paper, we describe the naming system and evaluate its use.
The deployment of the next generation computing platform at ExaFlops scale requires to solve new technological challenges mainly related to the impressive number (up to 10^6) of compute elements required. This impacts on system power consumption, in
Scientific computing sometimes involves computation on sensitive data. Depending on the data and the execution environment, the HPC (high-performance computing) user or data provider may require confidentiality and/or integrity guarantees. To study t
The development of cost-effective highperformance parallel computing on multi-processor supercomputers makes it attractive to port excessively time consuming simulation software from personal computers (PC) to super computes. The power distribution s
This work aims at optimizing injection networks, which consist in adding a set of long-range links (called bypass links) in mobile multi-hop ad hoc networks so as to improve connectivity and overcome network partitioning. To this end, we rely on smal
The rapidly growing popularity and scale of data-parallel workloads demand a corresponding increase in raw computational power of GPUs (Graphics Processing Units). As single-GPU systems struggle to satisfy the performance demands, multi-GPU systems h
