There are several reasons why the performance of current distributed and heterogeneous systems is often disappointing. For example, the characteristics of the application may be input sensitive and evolve during execution causing dramatic changes in memory reference patterns, resource requirements, or degree of concurrency between different phases of the computation. Or, the system may change dynamically with nodes failing or appearing, some network links severed and other links established with different latencies and bandwidths. Another important reason for poor performance is the fairly compartmentalized approach to optimization: applications, compilers, operating systems and hardware configurations are designed and optimized in isolation and without the knowledge of instance specific information and needs of a running application. There is too little information flow across these boundaries and no global optimization is even attempted. For example, most operating systems services like paging, virtual-to-physical page mapping, I/O, or data layout in disks, provide little or no application customization. Similarly, the off-the-shelf hardware used by most commercial systems is optimized to give best average-case performance. To address this problem, we have proposed application-centric computing, or Smart Applications (SAS). In the SAS executable, the compiler embeds most run-time system services, and a performance-optimizing feedback loop that monitors …

The National Museum of the Pacific War presents an oral interview with Gerald T. Parascandolo. Parascandolo was born in Brooklyn, New York on 7 January 1925. He was drafted into the Army in August 1943. After a brief period at Fort Custer, Michigan, he was sent to Fort Hood, Texas for 16 weeks of basic training. He initially trained for tank destroyer duty in North Africa, but when the fighting ended there, he was sent to Camp Hale, Colorado for mountain training with the 10th Mountain Division. In December 1944 Parascandolo’s unit, the 86th Mountain Infantry, I Company, 3rd Battalion, was sent to Europe, landing in Naples. They eventually went to Pisa and Livorno, joining the fight on the Gustav Line in the Po valley and the Alpine foothills. While in Northern Italy, the war in Europe ended and Parascandolo was sent back to the States in July 1945. After Japan surrendered, he was released from active duty on Thanksgiving Day 1945. Parascandolo subsequently joined the reserves and received a commission. He retired as a colonel with 40 years of active and reserve service.
