Numerical examples of a Braess-like paradox in which adding capacity to a distributed computer system may degrade the performance of all users in the system have been reported. Un...
This paper describes a novel compile-time list-based task scheduling algorithm for distributed-memory systems, called Fast Load Balancing (FLB). Compared to other typical list sch...
Abstract. Agent-based simulation of large multicellular biological systems has become a viable option owing to affordable parallel computers, such as Beowulf-style clusters. We de...

Service overlays that support distributed stream processing applications are increasingly being deployed in wide-area environments. The inherent heterogeneous, dynamic and large-s...
In completely symmetric systems that have homogeneous nodes (hosts, computers, or processors) with identical arrival processes, an optimal static load balancing scheme does not in...
