Traditionally, scheduling in high-end parallel systems focuses on how to minimize the average job waiting time and on how to maximize the overall system utilization. Despite the d...
Left unchecked, the fundamental drive to increase peak performance using tens of thousands of power hungry components will lead to intolerable operating costs and failure rates. H...
Although they focus on the big picture, high level supply chain models cannot gloss over the capacity of production nodes to meet production allocations. Capacity is not simply a ...
Long-term service agreements (LTSA) for the maintenance of capital-intensive equipment such as gas turbines and aircraft engines are gaining wide acceptance. A typical LTSA contra...
