A Study Of Possible Optimizations For The Task Scheduler ‘Quark’ On The Shared Memory Architecture, Vijay Gopal Joshi May 2013

A Study Of Possible Optimizations For The Task Scheduler ‘Quark’ On The Shared Memory Architecture, Vijay Gopal Joshi

Masters Theses

Multicore processors are replacing most of the single core processors nowadays.

Current trends show that there will be increasing numbers of cores on a single chip in the coming future. However, programming multicore processors remains bug prone and less productive. Thus, making use of a runtime to schedule tasks on multicore processor hides most of the complexities of parallel programming to improve productivity. QUARK is one of the runtimes available for the multicore processors. This work looks at identifying and solving performance bottlenecks for QUARK on the shared memory architecture. The problem of finding bottlenecks is divided into two parts, …

Consumerization Of It, Thomas Stagliano, Anthony Dipoalo, Patricia Coonelly

Mathematics and Computer Science Capstones

The consumerization of information technology is one of the biggest trends occurring in the information technology (IT) industry. More organizations are allowing their employees to use their own mobile devices to share data both inside and outside the workplace. This new trend is fundamentally changing the way companies do business. The “Bring Your Own Device” (BYOD) trend is also driving a need for management of such mobile devices and greater security on the devices and for the employees. The consumerization of IT is well underway and it is more than just bringing an iPad into the office.

Many IT managers …
