Abstract--This paper proposes an analytical model to estimate the cost of running an affinity-based thread schedule on multicore systems. The model consists of three submodels to e...
—Today’s large campus and enterprise networks are characterized by their complexity, i.e. containing thousands of hosts, and diversity, i.e. with various applications and usage...
When designing SAMGrid, a project for distributing high-energy physics computations on a grid, we discovered that it was challenging to decide where to place user's jobs. Job...
