The desirefor higher computational power may be due to many reasons, such as real timeconstraints (completing a task within a certain time period), throughput (processing manyrelated tasks together), or memory (delivering an efficient way to provide large amount ofmemory) [1]. Thus, the computer intensive applications are no longer limited to a fewscientific communities. In fact, emerging commercial applications such as simulatingmechanical
