Performance tools are inseparable from complex HPC applications' performance analysis and engineering life cycles. Due to the application's complexity, various performance analysis tools are created ...to serve different analysis purposes and provide a deeper look at certain aspects of the applications. Although these tools might operate differently, having coherent information and consistent metrics across all tools is mandatory for ensuring analysis continuity. It is common for performance analysts to switch their usual performance tools due to various reasons and limitations. In this work, we look specifically at the I/O performance analysis tools landscape and introduce Mango-IO to verify the result consistencies between tools and provide tool-agnostic metrics calculation methods. Our analysis and case study provides lesson learned and guideline for ensuring measurement continuity and comparability.
The power of GPUs is giving rise to heterogeneous parallel computing, with new demands on programming environments, runtime systems, and tools to deliver high-performing applications. This paper ...studies the problems associated with performance measurement of heterogeneous machines with GPUs. A heterogeneous computation model and alternative host-GPU measurement approaches are discussed to set the stage for reporting new capabilities for heterogeneous parallel performance measurement in three leading HPC tools: PAPI, Vampir, and the TAU Performance System. Our work leverages the new CUPTI tool support in NVIDIA's CUDA device library. Heterogeneous benchmarks from the SHOC suite are used to demonstrate the measurement methods and tool support.

The figure of the vampire is a truly global phenomenon, with popular interpretations appearing in Europe and Asia that are distinct from any versions found in the Americas. Instead, the global ...vampire draws from indigenous mythology as well as popular culture, and is freed from typical readings of monstrosity and otherness. This collection features over a dozen interdisciplinary scholars reading popular texts through critical lenses that range from traditional literary studies, to video game scholarship, to ecocriticism. Challenging the field of popular vampire studies, this book asks the question: What is the vampire in different global contexts, and what does it represent?
Ce volume est le fruit d’une réflexion collective des historiens et historiennes de l’université Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne. Il en partage donc les caractères : refus des cloisonnements, choix de la ...longue durée qui court ici de la Babylonie antique au temps présent, participation de jeunes chercheurs comme d’historiens confirmés. Il interroge l’usage que les historiens font du « mythe » qu’ils considèrent autant sous sa dimension restreinte de « récit fondateur » et transhistorique, que sous son acception plus moderne et sociologique, qui a trait à quelques motifs imaginaires partagés. Il y est donc question d’Amazones et de vampires, de Déluge et de Révolution, de royaumes fabuleux, de sorcières et d’âge d’or de la civilisation. Plus que le rapport entre le vrai et le faux, c’est la rationalité et l’historicité de ces croyances du passé en leur temps que ce livre s’attache à sonder.
The child in gothic fiction is often interpreted as a symbol of adult fears, and childhood in this context is therefore stripped of intentionality. This article discusses the representation of ...childhood as performed through acts of agency in children’s gothic fiction, with Angela SommerBodenburg’s famous novel series Der kleine Vampir as a case study. Previous research into the novel series has focused primarily on the human protagonist, the boy Anton Bohnsack, and neglected childhood as performed by the vampire children Rüdiger and Anna. These two characters diverge from previous representations of vampires within the vampire subgenre and challenge the very concept of childhood.
In terms of space made available for agency, the human sphere differs from the vampire sphere. Whilst the former emphasizes protective measures on behalf of the child the latter seems to emphasize agency. However, there is a dialectic relation between the two spheres. Neither protection nor agency is favoured, instead Der kleine Vampir offers the possi bility of a fusion between them through a number of different images of childhood, or rather, multiple childhoods.
This book critically situates the figure of the black female vampire within literary studies, cultural studies, gender studies, and critical race studies. It invites readers to take a closer look at ...the black female vampire figure and how that figure shapes and is shaped by cultural narratives about African American womanhood.
i The origins of the vampire can be traced through oral traditions, ancient texts and archaeological discoveries, its nature varying from one culture to the next up until the 20th century. Three 19th ...century Irish writers-Charles Robert Maturin, Joseph Sheridan Le Fanu and Bram Stoker-used the obscure vampire of folklore in their fiction and developed a universally recognizable figure, culminating in Stoker's Dracula and the vampire of today's popular culture. Maturin, Le Fanu and Stoker did not set out to transform the vampire of regional folk tales into a global phenomenon. Their personal lives, national concerns and extensive reading were reflected in their writing, striking a chord with readers and recasting the vampire as distinctly Irish. This study traces the genealogy of the modern literary vampire from European mythology through the Irish literature of the 1800s.
