Throughput Computing with Chip MultiThreading and Clusters.

Chip MultiThreading (CMT) based systems are being introduced in the market by several computer platform vendors. At the same time, cluster computing platforms are becoming prevalent in market segments which tend to be highly price/performance driven. This paper analyzes the architectural space of these two prominent computing paradigms in technical computing markets. This analysis is carried out in terms of the application turnaround time, throughput, and scalability across multiple threads of execution. Additionally, we introduce various subscription models to optimize application throughput and turnaround time. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
