Compiled from the proceedings of the 9th International Conference on High Performance Computing, this volume contains 66 papers with various keynote abstracts. Coverage includes algorithms, architecture, systems software, networks, mobile computing and databases, and applications.
To conclude, modi?ed design and implementation of a middleware, NICAN, to dynamically supply local network information to distributed scienti?c app- cations was presented. The application provides adaptive capabilities, is n- intrusive, ?exible, easy to use and extensible. The distributed scienti?c appli- tion can use this tool for information collection to its advantage without s- stantial code instrumentation.
