Proceedings of the Yerevan State University. Physical and mathematical sciences, no. 1 (2001), pp. 23-32.

Résumé

The problem of tuning of computer systems to specific tasks is considered. A review of existing tools that provide tuning on different levels for a specific class of computer systems named local area multicomputers is presented. A comparative analysis of considered tools is given according to their functional characteristics.

Détail

Keywords: computer systems, multicomputers.
