Heterogeneous clusters and grid infrastructures are becoming increasingly popular. In these computing infrastructures, machines have different resources, including memory sizes, d...
The scheduler is a key component in determining the overall performance of a parallel computer, and as we show here, the schedulers in wide use today exhibit large unexplained gap...
Existing geographic routing algorithms depend on the planarization of the network connectivity graph for correctness, and the planarization process gives rise to a welldefined no...
In this paper, we propose DBSampler, a query execution mechanism to answer "partial selection" queries in peerto-peer databases. A partial selection query is an arbitrar...
This paper revisits the problem of source-channel coding for error-resilient video streaming. We propose a new method to enable adaptive redundancy in the bitstream: fine-grain r...
