Dynamic load balancing(DLB) for parallel systems has been studied extensively; however, DLB for distributed systems is relatively new. To efficiently utilize computing resources p...
In this paper, we review two existing static load balancing schemes based on M/M/1 queues. We then use these schemes to propose two dynamic load balancing schemes for multi-user (...
Molecular Dynamics applications enhance our understanding of biological phenomena through bio-molecular simulations. Large-scale parallelization of MD simulations is challenging b...
Grids functionally combine globally distributed computers and information systems for creating a universal source of computing power and information. A key characteristic of grids ...
