One of the most fundamental problems automatic parallelization tools are confronted with is to find an optimal domain decomposition for a given application. For regular domain prob...
In this paper, we present a checkpoint-based scheme to improve the turnaround time of bag-of-tasks applications executed on institutional desktop grids. We propose to share checkp...
Desktop Grids have emerged as an important methodology to harness the idle cycles of millions of participant desktop PCs over the Internet. However, to effectively utilize the res...
