Search engines use inverted files as index data structures to speed up the solution of user queries. The index is distributed on a set of processors forming a cluster of computer...
Abstract. In this paper we outline a procedure to determine appropriate partitioning of programmable logic and interconnect area to minimize overall device area across a broad rang...
We analyze the performance of protocols for load balancing in distributed systems based on no-regret algorithms from online learning theory. These protocols treat load balancing a...
Abstract. Many parallel scienti c applications have dynamic and irregular computational structure. However, most such applications exhibit persistence of computational load and com...
