—Computing systems will grow significantly larger in the near future to satisfy the needs of computational scientists in areas like climate modeling, biophysics and cosmology. S...
Abstract-- High performance computing platforms like Clusters, Grid and Desktop Grids are becoming larger and subject to more frequent failures. MPI is one of the most used message...
In this paper, we quantify the adverse effect of file sharing on the performance of reliable distributed applications. We demonstrate that file sharing incurs significant overhead...
: We present a new model for handling messages and state in a distributed application that we call Messages in Local Transactions (MLT). Under this model, messages and data are not...
