We consider cluster systems with multiple nodes where each server is prone to run tasks at a degraded level of service due to some software or hardware fault. The cluster serves t...
In a distributed system or communication network tasks may need to be executed on more than one processor. For time-critical tasks, the timing constraints are typically given as e...
This paper presents a system deployed on parallel clusters to manage a collection of parallel simulations that make up a computational study. It explores how such a system can ext...
Interest in Grid computing has grown significantly over the past five years. Management of distributed cluster resources is a key issue in Grid computing. Central to management ...
This paper describes a simulation tool for the analysis of complex jobs described in the form of task graphs. The simulation procedure relies on the PN-based topological represent...
