Good network hardware performance is often squandered by overheads for accessing the network interface (NI) within a host. NIs that support user-level messaging avoid frequent ope...
In collusion-free protocols, subliminal communication is impossible and parties are thus unable to communicate “any information beyond what the protocol allows”. Collusion-fre...
In this paper, we present a heuristic algorithm that improves the performance of static task scheduling. Our algorithm is based on the list-scheduling mechanism. For the listing p...
We propose a mechanism that allows applications to survive operating system kernel crashes and continue functioning with no application data loss after a system reboot. This mecha...
Grid computing involves the ability to harness together the power of computing resources. In this paper we push forward this philosophy and show technologies enabling federation o...
