Resource management is a central part of a Grid computing system. In a large-scale wide-area system such as the Grid, security is a prime concern. One approach is to be conservati...
Numerical examples of a Braess-like paradox in which adding capacity to a distributed computer system may degrade the performance of all users in the system have been reported. Un...
With the growing scale of current computing systems, traditional configuration tuning methods become less effective because they usually assume a small number of parameters in the...
The paper addresses the problem of matching and scheduling of DAG-structured application to both minimize the makespan and maximize the robustness in a heterogeneous computing sys...
This paper describes a proof-of-concept implementation of a basic autonomous computing system. The system consists of an XUP Virtex-II Pro board running Linux and a set of softwar...
