Microcom Networking Protocol problem, additional "framing" bits are added to either end of every byte, typically one bit on either side known as the "start and stop bits". This guarantees at least one 1-to-0 transition for every byte, more than enough to keep the clocks locked. However, these bits also expand every 8 bits of data (one byte) to 10 bits, an overhead of 20%. When using a file transfer protocol, the packets themselves offer their own framing. The packets will always send a continuous stream of data, so the clock cannot "drift" in the same way that it could for data being
Many-task computing large scale systems will involve substantial technical challenges and will have big impact on science." Some related areas are multiple program multiple data (MPMD), high throughput computing (HTC), workflows, capacity computing, or embarrassingly parallel. Some projects that could support MTC workloads are Condor, Mapreduce, Hadoop, Boinc, Cobalt HTC-mode, Falkon, and Swift., Many-task computing Many-task computing (MTC) in computational science is an approach to parallel computing that aims to bridge the gap between two computing paradigms, high-throughput computing (HTC) and high-performance computing (HPC). MTC is reminiscent of HTC, but it "differs in the emphasis of using many computing resources over short
