In this paper, we characterize one parallel game-tree search workload in chess: the latest version of Crafty, a state of art program, on two Intel Xeon shared-memory multiprocessor systems. Our analysis shows that Crafty is latency-sensitive and the hash-table and dynamic tree splitting used in Crafty cause large scalability penalties. They consume 35%-50% of the running time on the 4-way system. Furthermore, Crafty is not bandwidth-limited.展开更多

This paper analyzes cloud computing technologies--especially mass data storage, parallel computing, and virtualization--in an attempt to solve technical problems in mobile search. The broad prospects of cloud computing are also discussed.展开更多
