We discuss dynamic parameter tuning in wide-area data transfers for efficient utilization of available network capacity and optimized end-to-end application performance. Impacts ...
Idle workstations in a network represent a significant computing potential. In particular, their processing power can be used by parallel-distributed programs that treat the netwo...
