Abstract
With the availability of Symmetric Multiprocessors (SMP) and high-speed
interconnects, clusters of SMPs (CLUMPs) have become the ideal platform for
performance computing. The performance of applications running on clusters mainly
depends on the choice of parallel programming paradigm, workload characteristics of the
applications, and the performance of communication subsystem. This thesis addresses
these issues in details.
