Legacy program execution system, which is necessary for Grid to enable users to reuse all legacy programs without reengineering source codes, is still an open problem. We propose ...
At UCLA's Plasma Physics Group, we have been successful in building and using a numerically-intensive parallel computing cluster using Power Macintosh hardware and the Macint...
: A distributed system is scalable if the rate at which it completes its computation and communication tasks does not depend on its size. As an example, the scalability of a peer-t...
Efficient data management is a key component in achieving good performance for scientific workflows in distributed environments. Workflow applications typically communicate data be...
In P2P assisted multi-channel live streaming systems, it is commonly believed that in unpopular channels, quality degradation is due to the small number of participating peers wit...
