Several works on grid computing have been proposed in the last years. However, most of them, including available software, can not deal properly with some issues related to contro...
Grid Computing brought the promise of making high-performance computing cheaper and more easily available than traditional supercomputing platforms. Such a promise was very well r...
A problem with running distributed shared memory applications in heterogeneous environments is that making optimal use of available resources often requires significant changes t...
Pilot-job systems have emerged as a computation paradigm to cope with heterogeneity of production grids, greatly improving fault ratios and latency. Tools like DIANE, WISDOM-II, To...
