We present a method for the efficient access to parts of remote files. The efficiency is achieved by using a file format independent compact pattern description, that allows to re...
Each semiconductor technology generation brings us closer to the imminent processor architecture heat wall, with all its associated adverse effects on system performance and reliab...
Improvements in the processing speed of multiprocessors are outpacing improvements in the speed of disk hardware. Parallel disk I/O subsystems have been proposed as one way to clo...
Existing Grid workflow tools assume that individual components either communicate by passing files from one application to another, or are explicitly linked using interprocess com...
