This paper presents a comprehensive design overview of the SunOS 5.4 kernel memory allocator. This allocator is based on a set of object-caching primitives that reduce the cost of...
In this paper we formulate the static load balancing problem in single class job distributed systems as a cooperative game among computers. It is shown that the Nash Bargaining So...

It is well known that the performance of a parallel discreteevent simulation (PDES) depends on the allocation of the workload to processors. In particular, poor performance may be...
Size-based policies have been known to successfully balance load and improve performance in homogeneous cluster environments where a dispatcher assigns a job to a server strictly ...
We compare the performance of three usual allocations (max-min fairness, proportional fairness and balanced fairness) in a communication network whose resources are shared by a ra...
