Networks of workstations are fast becoming the standard environment for parallel applications. However, the use of “found” resources as a platform for tightly-coupled runtime ...
We introduce the problem of load-distance balancing in assigning users of a delay-sensitive networked application to servers. We model the service delay experienced by a user as a ...
Abstract - We have experienced in our distributed applications that the network is the main limiting factor for performances on clusters. Indeed clusters are cheap and it is easier...
—Recently, high-end reconfigurable computing systems that employ Field-Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) as hardware accelerators for general-purpose processors have been built. T...
The complexity of services and applications provided by Web sites is ever increasing as integration of traditional Web publishing sites with new paradigms, i.e., e-commerce. Each d...
